Hey Guys,

 

Thank you for all the messages. Bike is broken but will get a full accident report later from my bikeshop. My Garmin was shattered in the process so no strava update unfortunately.

Ive noticed daily that drivers are getting worse, i mean really bad. They dont look, are not aware if their surroundings or even road signs.

 

In my area, people just go straight through the stop streets and i mean not one here or there but majority of drivers. I have to stop and wait for the car that is a few meters down the roadto actually stop.

 

Dude, im glad your ok and most wise to transition to the dirt version of cycling.

Very similar thing happened to a mate in Houtbay Bay on a ride some years ago. Driver pushed him into the back of a parked car and he went through the back window. The damage was all from sliding down on the shattered glass. Heal up well, hope there is nothing too serious!

Holy crap, that's gnarly! Glad you're okay, given the circumstances!!!

 

Heal up, buddy

 

No, not me thankfully, it was AJoub.

Yeah and then the old debate of, he who hits from behind is guilty by default, starts :(

True if both people were in the traffic lane. The cyclist in this case was not in the road way when the car pulled off the road way without looking. 

 

Car would have to explain why it was in the emergency lane as a start...
