Thanks again, everyone - leaving the office soon as the hearing is scheduled early this afternoon/Pacific time.
CC - yes, my doctor had OK'd me to ride my spin bike some months ago; I had to sit up though, as post concussion dizziness still happened when I was leaning over onto bars. Thankfully, that has eased a bit too.
I told a few on here on TE that, when it was an irresistibly gorgeous day a few weeks ago, I pumped up the tires of my old bike (I had set it up as my commuter when I got my Seven), lubed the chain and rolled it out of the garage for a slow, easy spin in my neighborhood. I just wanted to ride again and see how it felt; it felt GREAT!!!!...if I could, I'd be doing the happy dance (too jarring and painful though, still)...so, I'm hoping to do more soon...first on the trail (but, another trail - far away from this cross street and crosswalk that could've easily been fatal last year)...then venturing out on roads and slowly building the mileage...knowing that it'll take quite a while to get back to pre-ditwad-driver-incident-state!

How'd it go, kiddo?

hi all...well, it's yesterday's news now...but I got to read my statement in court, while the defendant driver and her private defense counsel sat there; not going to say much more, as the civil suit is still to come, once I'm more medically 'fixed and stable'...but the judge did find in my favor; I have the court order for said ditwad defendant driver to pay additional $ for destroying my Seven. Interesting that she has a private atty and reeeeally disappointing to learn and experience the underside of our so-called justice system. For all of the impacts that she alone caused for me, there really weren't many consequences for or disruptions to her own life and activities...hmmm
Hoping to see some of you local wonderful TE women out on the trail sometime soon!
Tailwinds!

It must be something of a relief to be dispatching with parts of the legal outfall, even if it's questionable whether the driver really understands how her actions have impacted you . . .
I was so happy to hear about your first ride out in the neighborhood! I'm sure it was a wonderful day.
