Bert - There is more reason than arthritis in our neck that old guys wear a rear view mirror. Dr. d
From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of ssp Sent: Tuesday, February 22, 2011 10:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [COWs] Friday Rides (morning and lunch box) James: Thanks for the words of support and encouragement. This was a very lucky accident. I agree w/ your riding positions. Unfortunately, I was too close to the white line, I think, and was in the shadows. And sadly, for a cyclist to be really safe we have to be somewhat belligerent in staking our road position, which sometimes pisses off those in a hurry. As the miles have added up I guess I have taken for granted the automobiles behind see me/us and are proceeding safely around. I still cringe at the thought of the 'what ifs' and thus when I get back out, no rear approaching vehicle will be taken for granted. I am sure we will be riding together very soon! Still very sore and quite a bit of pain. Trying to use the aquatherapy and yoga to speed the process to normalcy. I never thought I would get hit by a car before I took a tumble! thanks a bunch! bert On Mon, Feb 21, 2011 at 8:04 PM, James Lamm <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hey Bert, I'm sorry about your accident, but I'm happy to hear that you are not seriously hurt. Hoping you get back on the "hoss" soon. I wish you a speedy recovery. There are far too many drivers who are not paying attention. You'll never know whether or not the driver would have seen you if you had been riding near the middle of the lane. I contend that the center of the right hand lane on 4 or more lane roads is the safest place to ride, but on two lane roads, I feel safer about 2 feet to the left of the white line. However, I don't really trust any driver and rely on my mirrors constantly. On more than one occasion, if I hadn't been monitoring my mirrors, I would have been toast. Good luck on recovering, and if you need someone to ride slowly with during recovery, let me know. Other than during cold weather, I am very flexible and can ride on short notice.

I was lucky to come out not too hurt, much less alive---hwy97 and 55mph zones not a good place to ride. Dude said he did not see me but really do not know why. I was in the wrong spot ---->on the white line. If I had been where I preach, in the middle of the lane, he either would have seen me or I'd be dead. After the pain subsides, I guess the previous would be the better outcome. The file at the WMC ER stated I was assaulted .....by a white pick-up truck. That was the funny line of the day .....other than me acting like a goofball, nick said. Sure am gonna miss those free shots and the possibility of legend status, if I had peddled/hobbled back home, on bike! Mentally, I have to get over the what if's! 2"-5" is the diff between possible death and/or very serious injury. Whew! Thanks guys for riding back to check and wait on the formalities. Sorry I delayed the timely trip home and --pass that on to Mrs. Sullivan and kids too! Hope this never happens again to any of us during our exercise routines! Guess I will not be riding sun since my ride is in quarantine(Don's). Thankful not to have the temptation. You still have the best 'save' jon.
