    Invisible, you asked in another thread, should you ride again.
    I think only you can answer that question. I hope you do; but if you don't, i will understand. Only YOU know what you are going through. There are others on this forum (Silver for one, Triskelion another) who have had serious accidents and have come back to ride.
    What kind of injuries do you have on your legs?

    for six tanks of gas you could have bought a bike.

    So very sorry to hear of your accident. From your tone in your post it sounds like you still want to ride, but healing the physical wounds comes first. Take good care of yourself and keep us posted on your progress.

    Man that's terrible! Seems no matter how careful we all are (using a crosswalk, no less), danger always lurks and sometimes nails us. I'm glad to hear you're alive and recovering, Invisiblewmn! I wonder what will happen, or has happened, to the guy who hit you. I'll have to browse the other post to see if there's word on that.

    I say give it some time, heal well and take your rest. If you feel like biking, then by all means do so. Maybe restrict yourself to trails in the beginning, away from motorized vehicles of all kinds, just until you feel more comfortable again?

    Oh, no, Invisible! I'm so sorry. When I read your post over the summer about your tangle with the landscaper's trailer, I was so amazed at your bravery in that accident, and your give 'em hell attitude then. You straightened your wheel with your bare hands, and kept on riding to work, with broken bones and all. I even referred to that thread on another thread where someone needed encouragement from her scrape-up.

    If anyone can get through this, it's you. You're like a hero to me!

    BTW, I think it wasn't entirely clear, were you riding your bike or walking when you got hit this time?
