    OMG!!! Jenn, did the driver stop to help you? I sure hope so! What did he have to say for himself? He sure did a number on you. Heal quickly!

    Today is day 3

    And I think I hurt MORE today then yesterday. My neck back, legs, everything is sore. My right eye is swollen shut and the road rash is just the WORST.
    No, the driver I don't think ever saw me, he turned and wen't flying over the path I was on right in front of me. A nice woman stopped though, that saw the whole thing and offered me to ride home, but I didn't. I was still dazed I think I rode the 3.5 miles back knowing I hurt but once I saw everything I got woozy. DH got sick, bless his heart, he can't stand blood. So just thought I'd show ya''ll my face on day 3.
    Hope everyone is having a better day then I am!! Please go out and have some good rides for me!! THANKS!

    OMG! I'm SO SORRY THAT HAPPENED! I've been reading a book called "The Art of Cycling" that is really teaching me a lot about defensive cycling. Maybe you should read it while you are healing. Of course, it sounds like in this particular situation, there wasn't necessarily anything you could do about it though!

    You have a great attitude. I think I'd be totally freaked out. Take good care of yourself!

    Yes, written by the same guy as "The Art of Urban Cycling", which I recommended earlier in this thread.
    EVERY cyclist should read these two books. You can get them cheap on Amazon, used but like new.
