Approached a roundabout, asshole in a car came zipping into the roundabout, braked hard, locked up, down I went. Skinned knees, sore shoulder, no bike damage.

There's a lot of assholes out there, and Olympia is a Silver Rated City for Bike Friendliness. I guess there's a bounty on bicyclists in some states.
