"Fortunately, I hit my head first and I have a hard head," Villaraigosa joked, adding that he was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.

Villaraigosa was injured Saturday after falling from his bike to avoid striking a taxicab that cut him off in a Venice Boulevard bicycle lane. The mayor's security guards let the cab driver go after taking his information.
