I am so glad you were wearing yours when you were hit!stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11399191040892859634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-79544057399507153182017-06-09T01:55:48.221-07:002017-06-09T01:55:48.221-07:00My husband would be cheering reading this because ...My husband would be cheering reading this because he thinks everyone should ride bikes as much as possible. I think if I had one that could fit all my kids in it, I would! Like the Dutch. Sadly my trailer only fits two kids...<br />I do have to say that I have been hit on my bike when I was riding a few blocks from my house in a quiet, residential area, and I was fully in the bike lane. The car was pulling out of a parking lot, but he was texting and driving (which is against the law here), and didn't see me. I am still healing from injuries, I tore my rotator cuff, bruised multiple bones, and got scraped up pretty badly. My head was 100% injury free because I was wearing a helmet! I have to get a new helmet because it got slammed, but it did its job, and absorbed the crash, leaving my head the only injury free place on my body! <br /> <br />The car was a little toyota, and like I said- not going very fast, and yet a month later I am still healing. I shudder to think what would have happened to me if the car had been going faster or if it had been a big truck. <br /><br />With that being said, my bike has been repaired with a good portion of replaced parts, a new helmet bought, and my trailer replaced! And with a little bit of literal PTSD from being hit, I am hoping to get back on my bike again this week. I don't think I will be able to ride on that street for a good while, though.<br /><br />Morals of the story: <br />1. Don't text and drive.<br />2. Wear a HELMET even if you are on quiet, residential streets! <br /><br />Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15696231021422009947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19629645.post-91899071343777187942017-06-08T07:20:05.248-07:002017-06-08T07:20:05.248-07:00You are good citizens of the world!

And I always feel like I see new things when I'm riding my bike that I miss when I'm driving.ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10107387078104994223noreply@blogger.com
