Got hit by a car today (Page 2)

HOLY CRAP!!!!

{{{{{{{{{{ HEALING VIBES }}}}}}}}}}

Mike,

Sorry to hear what happened to you. The good thing is that you are OK. Bikes are replaceable, you however are not. Get well soon!

Thanks for sharing your story, and THANK GOD you're okay.  I've been spending a lot of time on my bike lately and taking for granted that people are going to STOP at Stop signs, and a few times I had a bad feeling even though I had the right of way they may not stop.  I think everyone who reads this will be extra careful, even when we have the right of way!

Heal quickly and, again, God Bless that you're okay.

OMG.  I can't believe nothing was broken.  Torn muscles and ligaments can often times hurt worse than broken bones.  However, I broke my ankle in 1989 but it swelled up so bad they didn't see the break initially so it was never casted.  After 2 months and still no recovery and about 9 new xrays they figured out it had actually been broken.  I tell you this so that if you aren't healing like you think you should, ask for new xrays and different angles to be sure.  

Anyway, I do hope you heal quickly and are still able to do the Ironman in August.  That sucks about your bike.  I hope you are able to replace it soon and get used to it.  I'm glad you weren't hurt worse but that doesn't make your injuries and all the hassle any easier to deal with.  It's still very frustrating.  

I think we all need air horns on our bikes to warn people in the cars to pay attention.

Hoping you recover fast!! Thank god you were not run over...

I do not trust other drivers, even when I am in a 2-ton car!
