Not sure whom is equating bicyclists to rapists and murderers - projecting much?
My "rant" (very mellow) was more about people whom fail to follow rules. Bad drivers, cyclists, and motorcyclists all around. I was only painting those whom fail to follow the rules in a bad light. Obviously the one who hit me is in that camp.
I don't think it's reflective of the type of vehicle being operated - I think it's more those personalities. I see them on all vehicles.
I just returned from "Sterling Collision Center" in Tustin. They're supposedly factory certified by BMW and have an overall good rating on Google and Yelp. The other place I'll get an estimate is Sandpiper Collision in Costa Mesa. Anyone else have recommendations for OC?
Thanks!

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.
