You guys are great. I read on another site that one cyclist who is also a police officer recommends using a police whistle. As far as my injuries are concerned: the accident was only three miles from my house, and about seven from my parents. So I walked back to the owner's house (he was outside, but hadn't seen the accident) and called my parents. They flipped out as I was doing an early morning ride (to avoid dogs, ha, ha) and managed to wake them up. I'm not too coherent in the morning anyway, and adding pain and shock to the mix wasn't very comforting to them. They rushed over and then called the cops. So a police report was filed. Owners have said they will take care of medical expenses. I went to Urgent Care, x-rays were taken. Nothing broken, but the doctor was worried about muscle damage. Doctor thought I'd be back on the bike within the week, but that didn't happen. When the pain persisted, I went to the chiropractor for therapy. And now things are looking tons better. Still some ache and soreness, but tons better than before. Was able to do 24 miles today on the hybrid without feeling it in the shoulder. Next test is the road bike! Anyway, I have photos of the injuries and bruises, a copy of the police report naming me as the victim, and am going to get the damage report from the bike shop this week. Really hoping and praying this all gets resolved quickly.
