Inde Navarrette shares she was once hit by a car while riding an e-bike in Venice Beach:
"...my friend broke her wrist first while snowboarding and then a blizzard happened, and you’re not allowed to fly with a cast. So we drove her down from Vancouver in a blizzard — all the way down home [to southern California] is a 22-hour drive and we did it in 22 hours straight. So we get down, we drop her off, she leaves. Me and my friend David are at this bar in Venice Beach and we go, “You know what? It’s raining, but screw it. Let’s go play pool.” And we hop on [e-bikes] having never taken an e-bike before.
We’re going and having fun and he almost eats it behind me. I’m looking behind me, and then I look forward, and a guy blew a Stop sign in the back streets of Venice and I go flying. My phone was playing T-Pain’s “Buy U a Drank” and it’s the only soundtrack of the night. We find my phone eventually and the guy gets out of his car and he’s like, “Are you okay?” So I started doing squats. I was like, “I’m totally fine,” because I’m in shock. And my friend David is just like, “Oh, I thought you were dead. I thought you were dead. I thought you died.” And then I went home and then my legs started swelling up.
So then we went to the ER and they took a picture of it. I shit you not — they took a picture and they’re like, “You’re fine.” And I went home. And so I thought it was funny because my friend had just broken her wrist and I had to call her and be like, “Hey, I got hit by a car.” So I think it’s funny. It’s okay. We do acupuncture and stretch. And I have things to talk about with older people."
