my experience with ICBC was pleasant and positive, too. I think they're more helpful of pedestrians and cyclists because you can't really fudge the fact you were hit. And when you go up against a big hunk of moving metal, it doesn't matter if you were at fault, your body's not going to go unscathed.

I'm glad things kind of worked out for you. Sucks you got hit and the bike's been condemned, but at the very least it will be replaced (maybe with a better one??)
