oh Jenn! I almost couldn't click on your post in light of the stresses from dealing with my own recent crash. I can certainly relate to your pain, but the hardest part to read was how preventable your pain was--how unnecessary that kind of accident is. as cyclists we all take risks, but the thoughtlessness of others makes some of those risks very unforeseen and that is the really scary part.

getting back on the bicycle will be scarier for you, as you have the memory not only of pain from the crash but of distrust from the circumstance that caused it. remember to take it easy at first on low-traffic roads, rebuild your confidence--but above all right now focus on healing.

best wishes from another gimp!
