I got hit in the post office parking lot the other day. No damage to my
truck, but a guy had to swerve to miss a delivery service cyclist riding
the wrong way in the lot (he entered the "exit only, do not enter"
ramp). He got a nasty crease all the way down the side of his car where
it dragged along the corner of my rear bumper.

I felt sorry for him. The paint he left on my bumper can be sanded off,
but he's got a couple of grand in body work, minimum.

It would have been cheaper for him to hold his position and take the
cycle under his front bumper.
