Keep it safe out there fellas. I was hit by a Mustang from behind this morning just east of Bloomington. I was on my 19 pound bike so obviously I didn't come out on the winning end of things. I was going about 22 and he had to be going over 60. You could say that I was incredibly lucky because I have no broken bones. I just have a gash on my left elbow, a swollen right ankle, and a severely sore and swollen butt. I'm not sure if the butt is from hitting the car or from hitting the ground. I have major butt road rash too. I'll spare you the pictures of that but here are a couple of shots of my poor bike. Note the frame is broken in two places in the rear triangle. The rear wheel is mangled.

I'm glag you made it. That's exactly why I don't ride bikes on the highway. Because of crazy bastards out there that can't drive or pay attention. that and its illegal False. Pedestrians and bicycles are both allowed on our fine interstate highway systems. However, in many areas it is illegal to put your pedal bike on the sidewalks, and any bridge without allowances specifically for such. There is a large sign about no umpowered bicycles or powered bicycles on the interstate on the entrance ramps......and no pedestrians.... Nothing under 150cc or self powered is allowed on our fine interstate system  Atleast they have those signs here in Urbana(unless they have been taken down), dunno about Peoria, maybe they let Darwin handle that over there
