Resurrection Time!

So that happened.

Riding East on Venice Blvd, dodging cars turning in front of me, drivers passing me only to stop in the bike lane for a parking spot and the usual shit that people who ride bikes in Los Angeles have to deal with, I finally got my first door.

Here is the before stitches pic.

So, It could have been a lot worse. I could have crashed, which I didn't. Having a bendy bus on the left and a car door on the right at 20+ miles per hour on a busy road, I chose to fight the car door. The door won.
