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!!!
