bad commute

[coyote]

I seriously thought that I was going to die, so I feel just so lucky. I'm going to pick the bike up after work and I'm actually afraid of riding it. I work downtown and although there are alot of bike lanes around town....downtown there is only the one.

I think if I get too freaked out I'll call someone to come and get me or maybe just hop on the bus.

That's crazy. My friend freedom is a bike messenger and that happened to him not to long ago. Around there is some provision for hit and runs where the city will cut the victim a check but his homeland is France so he got denied. Sad but true. Anyhow you were very lucky.

Oh my! So glad you are okay. What a jerk. Did you get clipped by the side of the truck so he might have not noticed? He's (or she's, but I doubt it) a jerk either way!

Oh, I'm sorry to hear about your accident! How scary!! I'm glad that you're OK and that it's nothing more than a superficial wound. Your psyche may take a little more time to recover, but you'll get back out there and keep doing it. I'm glad it wasn't more serious.

Dadblasted driver! I'm so angry he left you.

Coyote, I'm glad you're all right.
Take your bike and ride it in a safe place at first. There are enough accident victims on this forum that someone can give you more advice. Ride when you're ready.
