Scot, I'd say you're on the right track. What kind of rod are you
carrying? I've carried fly rods in their own tubes hundreds of miles
with no issues. I just bolt a PVC end cap to one of the rear dropout
braze-ons, then toe strap the rod tube to the rear rack. This photo
sort of shows it in action
Oh N! Glad you are doing OK, but man what a bummer. I agree
though, I think you very well may get insurance to pay for it. Here's
to getting the bike back on the road soon.

Good to know that you are OK. File an accident report with the police and

A while back I ordered some Road Cruiser Hs 377 tires from Schwable.
They weigh 705 grams. Pretty good tires. They are heavy and feel

I have these same tires on my SimpleOne and love them. Have about 6000

John: As a former insurance agent, I recommend:
1. File a police report.
2. Report the accident to both your own and the responsible driver's
auto insurance company. Your own may be involved under your

3. Take photos of both your bruises and the bike's

It took a little bit of fiddling with both the rack height and the decaleur

I would only add that I do not take it for granted that a pedal comes from
the factory properly put together if it uses ball bearings. If the bearings
do not feel right upon putting on the bike , double check the adjustment of
the bearings. If they are too tight or loose they won't last long !
So so sorry to hear that you got hit. I was hit in downtown Washington several years ago, did not call the police but did have 2 pedestrians rush up to me with their business cards, saying they would be my witnesses. The insurance company paid for everything I needed replaced and some minor
