I guess in the realm of just reporting things, got doored by a motorist parking in front of the Virginia Square Metro this morning. Was traveling in the bike lane. Have it all on these nice camera things that I bought just last week for this very scenario.
Good: Any accident you can bike away from. Have contact information for motorist. Have all of it on camera.
Bad: Motorist not cited for Dooring under ยง 46.2-818.1. Any accident where perceived damage is less than $1000 is not a cite-able offense either. Got some minor contusions, did not hit my head, but afterwards I noticed I will probably have to get my front wheel trued and only later this evening did I notice I have a nice scratch on my fork — hope it’s not broken. And No, it seems that running two head lights, one high beam and one in really-freaking-annoying-any-other-cyclist-on-the-W&OD-strobe-mode and wearing reflective garments did not help in this situation.
