Car no match for 108-year-old Austrian cyclist

VIENNA, Austria - And you thought Lance Armstrong was tough?

Austrian authorities say a 108-year-old cyclist was hit by a car while biking across a busy street in Vienna — and she suffered only a few bruises.

Police say the woman had been pedaling her bike across the bustling Praterstrasse when a car pulled away early from a stop light and struck her in the crosswalk.

Officials say the woman was taken to a hospital for examination but suffered only bruises in Monday's accident. - AP

This is a great story! We just had a local cyclist killed about 2 weeks ago by a hit and run, so, its refreshing to hear that sometimes the cyclist doesn't always lose!
