Holy moly!! I'm glad you didn't get more seriously hurt. And right or wrong- it's not like you were riding against traffic in the road. I probably would have done the same thing as you. I live in a not-so-bicycle friendly place, and I won't ride to a few places because of the same situation you describe. Some intersections are so catty wampuss that it's nearly impossible to navigate safely. You did what you had to do- I'm just sorry you got clocked while doing it.
Heal up soon!!!

Poor Beth! Don't beat yourself up about making an unwise shortcut, you're hardly the first one to do that, it's human. You take pictures of the bruising? We can compare
Hugs to you and Nalas memory, may the rest of the year be kind to you.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

(((Beth))) Hope you get better soon. I'm also so sorry about Nala. I couldn't even read the other thread. What a bad week.
