Subject: It finally happened

I know that we all say it, "sooner or later you are going to get hit by a car". 

Well it finally happened, some women turned into a driveway right in front of me and I had no chance to stop.  Went right into her side mirror(ripped that off) and rolled up onto the hood.

Thank goodness it was right after a stop light and we both not going fast.  But with the Pacific Grove race only a week away and both knees banged up and my shoulder in pain, I am a little worried.  Are there any remedies that people has used to heal quickly?

A little litigation seeking financial remuneration (= or > cost of lustful bike) will do wonders for recovery.

Cool

ah, yes, the classic right hook.

Did you get a police report? That would be helpful in pursuing the bear's advice.

That's too bad. Sorry to hear it. For bruising and swelling I use Arnica. You can find it at most health food stores/pharmacies. Good luck.

I heard no mention about your bike.... is your bike ok? That is the first thing I think of when I get hit (2 times and 1 brake lock flip to avoid getting hit).

The bike was fine.

In my wonderful state of mind I just got up, made sure nothing was broken and walked my bike home, not even 1 mile into ride.  I guess I am too nice.  She was so scared and I was just pissed.

I use some great homepathic cream called Traumeel. SOld at most health food stores.

Stuff is awesome for pains, bruising, and swelling.

You may seriously want to consider filing a police report in case you happen to develop a delayed medical complication or in case she decides to come after you to have her car repaired.

Really sorry to hear that man! I agree with others though that even though you weren't hurt bad you still might want to look into filing a report if it is not too late. I hope it never happens again!

Damn...that sux Jason...glad you are OK though...

Simi drivers kind of me off though. I have been riding a bit out there lately and I almost got hit once in the canyon on Tapo Cyn Rd. (No the best riding place but still) and then again when I was clibbing the hill into the new housing development on Erringer Rd.

Both times were people driving too fast and trying to hug a turn....and then honked like it was my fault!!!!

ANyway...glad you and the bike are alright!!!
