yep, same here, Mimi and Jocelyn...while I have been back out on the trail (Linda and I, just last weekend, rode from South Park to the site in Auburn where we were hit)...and a bit on the road, I have not done some of my[former] favorite routes - through Kent out to Flaming Geyser or Auburn to Black Diamond (with mandatory bakery stop!)...am still kinda scared and am not going to push myself to ride down there again, while I still feel like this.
To note: I was hit (mowed down is a more accurate description) while in a painted crosswalk, with lots of signage for traffic approaching in all directions - whew!
Even when you, Salsabike and I rode on the Centennial trail recently, I noticed that I was still kinda "hinky" (technical term there, = shaky) on getting back up to where I was previously with bike handling, traffic crossings and the like.
It is all part of the crash and injuries experience, including aftermath, I guess...understandable and part of what I'm easing myself through, without pushing too fast.
