Another car hitting cyclists - this time, it's me!

Oh oh oh! Mary, I am so sorry! But so glad you're okay enough to post. Let us PNWers know if you need anything at all, okay? And I'm so sorry about the bike. too. Jeez. Love to you both.

Oh Dear
This is always awful news to read - but somehow worse when it is someone you have connections with... Hugs from another TE-er (gentle ones).

I take it you have no breaks? You both just sustained bruising and cuts? I guess that is good because it is less time to heal, but all of us here know it is more than just physical healing.

Awful to hear about your bike too. I have sat with several people who have come off their bikes during racing, and all of them have been more worried about their bikes than themselves...

Can someone explain to me "on the cross-wlk of a trail"? Is that like a pedestrian crossing where bikes can cross over a road? I am just confused because over here, cars would not be on trails...

Road raven, in our area, we have a lot of bike trails which cut across streets.
Most of them are marked very clearly with a normal crosswalk paint job and signs; as they go across the street.

Mary, i am so sorry to hear you were hurt and that your bike is now just "evidence"

(((((((Mary))))))) Wow, so glad you're going to be okay, and so sorry that you're going through this.

Mary, so sorry for this experience you're having! I'm sending you lots of butterflies to help you heal and to help the whole process and legalities part of this be as easy as it can be.

If you'd like to receive a photo in your email each day, to give you a bit of beauty, especially as you recover, let me know your addy and I'll put you on the list.

Gentle hugs,
~T~

(((Mary))) oh, thats terrible. I'm so glad you weren't hurt any worse. I hope you have a quick recovery, take care.

[Grog]

I hope you feel better soon. Big hug!

That is just AWFUL. I just am so glad you are not critically injured, or your DGF either. I hope that driver gets the book.
Please get well soon.

((((((M and L)))))I pm'd you. Call me if you need anything. I'm right in your neighborhood! I can be there in 5 minutes!

[Trek420]

(((((M & L))))) We are soooooo lucky you are both ok, well .... that is good enough to type. I'm glad the police are taking action.

Hugs and butterflies to you both!!! I saw a post over on OT Australia and went I'm so relieved to see you both came away from this with only minor injuries! The butterflies are carrying over some virtual arnica for the bruises. Hope you both get well quick!
