Okay... not my finest moment or a great way to start the day. So this morning on my commute in to work I got hit by a car. Despite wearing a high-vis jacket and being lit up and following a car around a circle in a dedicated cycle lane, this mornings motorist didnt want to stop entering the circle and hit me from the side/rear trying to squeeze behind the car I was following around the circle. She claimed the sun was in her eyes and didnt see me. Im fine albeit slightly shook up and I did a bike check while she was there and my bike seemed fine at the time as well. So I said its fine in not the happiest tone and we went our ways. Except I now notice my rim is slighly bent and my hub has got some very minor play. This topic is called... Things Ive learnt while Commuting. Today I have learnt that even if you are in shock and everything seems okay. Get the persons details (I did not for which I am an Idiot) because now I have to try and get my rear wheel fixed on the only bike I own and I definitely do not have the budget to do this at the moment . FFS.
