Near Misses that still make me shudder

During college, I was foolishly - although having fun at the time - taking a ride up a hill on my bicycle by holding on to the side of my friend's car. I had done it a few times, and had grown comfortable in doing it. In fact, I assume I had grown cocky and complacent about the danger of it. For one day, with his window down, my handlebar got caught on his door. It made my bike twist and flip, with my body doing the same. I went down to the ground, slamming my palms and face onto the pavement. I got up right away and hurried to my dorm out of embarrassment and humiliation. And to this day, when I think about how close I came to getting run over by my friend's wheels, I shudder.
