Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
Take it easy--that's the only advice I can give. It took me a long time to recover from hip replacement, though I think the time may have been stretched by the trauma, and I had no head injuries and only minor other fractures. Take it easy, enjoy life as much as you can, and contemplate a customized bicycle... On Friday, April 3, 2015 at 7:08:18 PM UTC-4, David Spranger wrote: > > Thanks, Andy. One day at a time.

David, Don't rush it. Take it easy, and know that all of the easy-taking is exactly what should happen. Work can wait!

Thanks, Andy. One day at a time. While in the hospital I was busting to get out. I have a vague memory of telling my boss I was ready to get back to work right away. Now that I am home, I am realizing how long this is going to take and, frankly, happy for the extra time to recuperate and reflect.

Wow. Just wow. I am so very glad that you are still alive. I would guess that more times than not, an accident like you describe would be fatal to the cyclist. He left you for dead pretty much. There's nothing I can say about this motorist that would not violate the spirit of this email list. I just hope this results in a long prison sentence for him.

David: It is encouraging to read that both the rider and the ride are heavily banged up but both are fixable and share good prospects for travelling together again.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
That's truly horrible; both your experience in being hit and the bad actor's behavior after the collision. I expect that (assuming the driver was insured) there should be no problems in your being fully compensated to the limit of his policy--but I do not know the company or the locale, so don't take my word for it. Document absolutely everything insofar as you can. Every cut, scrape, and bruise. The hospital records are important, but so is whatever you can produce. And (like a zillion people haven't already told you this!) take your time getting back to work and riding.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
I was riding to work early on last Friday morning. My usual route. Nothing unusual at all precipitating the event. I have no memory of the event itself. What I know I have pieced together from eyewitness reports and police reports. I was traveling around ten mph up a hill on a arterial road that is labeled at 35mph. A Ford Winstar came up behind me moving higher than 55 mph. Though there was a clear lane he could have moved into, he instead plowed through me as if I was not there. Eyewitnesses state he carried my body on his hood and partially embedded in his windshield approximately 90 feet before coming to a stop and allowing my body to fall off his vehicle. This was directly in front of a very busy city bus stop with eyewitnesses that are used to seeing me every day pass this bus stop on my bicycle. He then changed lanes to not run me directly over as he sped away. He later reported an incident in which he said the damages to his car were caused by boxes falling off a truck. Of course modern forensics and on-the-ball police officers knew better and immediately arrested him.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
I got H&R'd in the CAR and I followed the person to their place of residence. When I called 911 the police asked if anyone was injured and I said NO, they then proceeded to tell me that all units in my sector were deployed on higher priority calls. No accountability for traffic safety in this country AT ALL. On Fri, Mar 27, 2015 at 6:17 AM, Andrew Marchant-Shapiro < [email protected]> wrote: > I'm glad you're mostly intact.

Hope you recover quickly and are back riding again soon. Glad to see you have the positive attitude to be planning how to also restore your bike so it's ready when you are.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
I'm glad you're mostly intact. If you recall the details of the hit and run, I would be interested in hearing them. I have been hit several times, but never H&R'd. Take it easy with the recovery. I had a hip replaced a few years ago due an incident, and it took me significantly longer to get full recovery than was typical for scheduled hip replacement surgery. I don't know if that's common, due to the trauma, or what, but it was my experience (I was fortunate in that it was a relatively low-speed event, and the rest of the damage was confined to my ankle and elbow.). Please, do well and read lots of amusing things. Let us know where you're located and where your tastes in literature lie--I (for one) may be able to forward a book or two!

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
I was not wearing a helmet. I only rarely use helmets. Please, no debate here. I did receive head injury that resulted in brain swelling that required an operation to relieve the pressure. I did not know this earlier this week. I have been mostly out of it and am only now coming up to full speed, mentally, again. My injuries are serious, but I expect a full recovery from all of them. It will just take time. On Thursday, March 26, 2015 at 10:09:08 PM UTC-4, hangtownmatt wrote: > > David, > > I notice you did not list any head injuries.

Sorry to hear this, David. Best wishes with your recovery. Wish I could say or offer more. I'm glad to hear you still have fighting spirit and won't let this keep you off your horse - evidenced by the fact that you're already trying to figure out how to fix the bike. That's a great sign!

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
Yikes! Threads like this freak me out, i've been off the bike most of the winter (training for something else), and i'm a little worried about my on-bike awareness on the road. The fact that more experienced people then me are at risk only scares me more! Heal fast, and know that the bike can be repaired or replaced but your health is many orders of magnitude more important, so take care of that first. The bike will be there and even though it's discontinued there are enough SimpleOnes and QBs around that you can find a replacement if need be, so don't fret over that. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
Oh man, that sounds so awful, so sorry to hear that David. I've been hit twice this month on my Atlantis, but thankfully have escaped injury and damage both times. Must have had a guardian angel riding behind me or something. I'm sorry to hear you're so banged up, get well soon! I second the Mark Nobilette comment. He did (does?)

RE: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
+1 on Patrick’s comments. First, wishes for a speedy and complete recovery for you, David, and the SimpleOne , too. Second, I too hope the driver is caught and held responsible for his arrogance and cowardice. It is hard to be forgiving of the car in bike vs. car accidents, but possible, at least in some cases. When the car and driver run away, zero tolerance.

Re: [RBW] The aftermath of my recent car vs. bike hit and run.
Did you escape injury? Certainly, file a police report -- not only for your own benefit, but as a civic duty. Also -- I used to sell insurance -- inform your own auto insurance company and agent. UIM should cover your losses if you can't find the OP's insurance information.
