I do know the elderly woman who hit me. She's a local. She knows of me, but that's about it. As of this time, I haven't contacted the police. I think the yelling and screaming I did to give her a crash course in being more aware of cyclists will modify her behavior. She isn't a mean person, just goofy and clueless. I was scared and I know exactly what could have happened that day. Being calm and diplomatic wasn't my approach even though I do believe in the benefits of this method.
I'm so thankful I'm ok. This is most important to me.
