Biking to places other than work?

Unfortunately I was too stunned to get even the make of the car much less the license plate. What's worse not one person in the approximately 12 cars who sat there and witnessed it so much as rolled down their window to see if I was okay. I'm pretty much disgusted with humans right now. But I'm very happy that the damage to my equipment was minimal. I thought about a police report but honestly I have no info to give them other than it was a silver sedan so I'm afraid I'm going to be laughed out the door. I am going to call the city tomorrow to see if they can add another crosswalk at this very busy intersection to allow better access to the bike path I was trying to get to. Our city law requires us to ride on a path if it is adjacent to the street and we can be ticketed if we ride in the street, yet they don't provide adequate safe access. It's probably a losing battle but worth a try I think.

I vote for filing a police report anyways. It may not result in catching the guy, but it could strengthen the argument for improvements to that area.
