Every morning I go for a bike ride and yesterday morning, a lady hit me as I was crossing a side street.

I'm glad you're alright. I think you should talk to the lady about compensation for pain and suffering. I'm also a bike rider and have been lightly "brushed" by a bus once. It just barely touched the outside of my jersey sleeve. But, I've never actually been hit. I ride my bike to a gym only a couple of miles from my house and I have to deal with buses all the time, some drive right in the bike lane! Makes me scared to go out by bike.

Yeah I am going to be scared more careful next time I go out. Thanks for your respone.

I've been really close to being hit while walking multiple times, but I've never actually been hit. I have, however, been in a few car accidents... none of which were my fault.

Well I'm glad that you weren't at fault. That is alot to deal with. Thanks for responding.

I used to ride a dirt bike in my neighborhood when I was a kid, and one time a car hit me. We were both going slowly and luckily I wasn't hurt. The only damage was my front wheel was bent so that when the handlebars were straight the wheel was crooked. I'm glad your accident wasn't serious and that you weren't hurt.

I was hurt, but not as bad as I could of been. I got very lucky. Glad you were okay after you got hit. Thanks for responding.

A few years back I was hit by a truck when I was riding my bike. The truck did not stop at the stop sign and probably wasn't looking. Luckily it was in a parking lot so he was going very slowly and I didn't get hurt too badly.

Yes thankfully. If the lady was going any faster then she was, I'm sure I'd be in alot more pain right now. I got very lucky. Thank you for responding.
