Thats why I like the recumbent bike with the crank in front like a
chain saw, a great deterrent of anyone jumping in front of the bike.
BTW I got hit head-on Jan 3rd of this year at a stop sign and the
driver made an illegal left turn into my lane just as I was making a
right turn. Totaled my bike and damage both of my hearing aids
dragging me thru a huge puddle on my side of the lane at the
intersection. I got 50% of the estimate to repair my bike from the
insurance. The lawyer promise that he get more lator from the
settlement. I found a used recumbent bike the R-42 Vision for $500
I figure with the recumbent if I were to hit a car I go feet first.
I also had an accident a month lator with a lady doing a rolling stop
in front of me. While I was riding my brother-in-law bike. I am also
45 years old and seen my share of close call, but this has been a bad
way to start the year. My arm is starting to not throb and getting the
use of my thumb again. At least with the recumbent the back and arm
get a easier task of maintaining balance of the bike. I have 2 lights
in front with one flashing and 2 red lights in the back one high and
one low.
The driver that hit me had his arm around the woman in the passenger
side and he wasn't even looking when he made the turn.
