Anyhow, had one cruise through an intersection while I had a green, plowed into my door. Got some nice scrapes and dimples in the sheet metal. So, off to a body shop to get the damage assessed.
And yes, they were OK. They kept insisting they go about their way and I kept insisting on medical attention. As soon as they had my contact and insurance info, off they went. I hope they went and got checked out regardless.

funny, people in cars do the same thing, run red lights.
had a lady in a car pull out in front of me while i was on my bike. i plowed into her. woke up in the ambulance....i was in a bike lane BTW, not someplace i would normally ride.
she bought me my 930.
had a guy in a pickup pull out in front of the group i was riding with. no other traffic, no reason not to wait. 3 went in the bed (with tools in the back), one into the door and one over the front hood. me? i managed to miss the tailgate that was down. pretty scary because of not knowing if he was going to stop, then i would have hit the tailgate.
maybe there needs to be a rant about drivers??
sorry to hear that. sounds like you will have an uninsured motorists claim.
been there done that. it did not turn out well for us. we had to fight our insurance company. (allstate, you know, the ones with their hands cupped and held out. well they pulled them back when they saw us coming).
i dont know why you put someone on a bicycle and all of a sudden they deserve less respect than a rapists or murderer.
