Bike accident

If I had known that the car was coming, I would never have crossed the street. (or, I never would have crossed the street)  It was the first time that I rode a bike in Rome. I had been living there for some months, and I'd alreayd already noticed how they drive in that city. (I think they are the worst drivers in the world; you risk your life trying to cross the street.)  But I'd never ride ridden a bike there before yet. So, when I started to use the second-hand bike that I got to move myself into get round the city, I didn't know which was the best zone to be in.  In the street it was dangerous because of how they drive their cars and motorbikes. But in the pedestrian area the problem was me with my bike. Anyway, I tried to be stay in the pedestrian area unless I was annoying or dangerous for the people who were walking. That time I was in a zone with a lot of traffic, so I thought that crossing the street in a crosswalk woud be better. Suddenly I saw a girl in front of me, who was crossing in the opposite direction way, start to scream. (I think it would be clearer to say: ... and she started to scream)  And a second later a car ran into the back wheel of my bike. Luckely Luckily I could was able to jump from the bike, and I kept myself safe but the bike got broken.
