getting hit by a bicycle

one day...while walking through campus and chatting with my friends, i felt something SMASH into the back of my leg. i turn around to see a small chinese man laying on the ground under his bicycle. did i fall over you ask...of course not...he did! as i am sure i yelled something very colorful...the man is yelling "i'm sorry" (in chinese) with his hands up in the air. i guess he was afraid that this large american was going to crush him. anyway...i did end up laughing a lot later that day when i realized how funny it was that he fell over and i didn't!
