a. y’all are funny. so much talk about rules, and ebikes. it’s funny.
b. i don’t ride as much as many of you I know this from Strava), and I don’t have all the gear (no studded tires!).
c. I haven’t hardened up yet – I’m still pretty wimpy. I’ll freeze and ride, but i don’t know how much.
d. Can i still play? Do i need to be a “slacker”.
e. when i have a few hours, i’ll read through the rules and all the posts from last year .

OOH I’m a Junior exec. member of the forum now. how did that happen? surely that counts for something!!

@LeprosyStudyGroup and @Komorebi

I’d be happy to meet at 8 and ride with y’all to the start. Though i’ve decided I’m doing the shorter (28 mi) ride instead of the Honeycrisp. Meeting some ladies from Women & Bikes at 10 and riding the shorter rider together. Look forward to seeing you all then! (and after the ride!)

This is why most of the time when a motorist tries to wave me through when they have very clear right of way, I don’t let them, even if it means a “no, you go first” battle.

Sounds like a good idea.

Hi all it was me! Riding my other bike…rushing amd distracted i caught the edge of the pavement and slid on the asphalt. All ok. One stitch for gash in my arm and lots of road rash. Two hurtin fingers and sore rib. No breaks. So many folks stopped and help. Especially Grerg who stayed w me til the amb came. I wasnt sure how bad i was hurt. Be careful out there. I will pay more attention and lv more time. Yall are the best.

Since the accident happened in New Jersey — and I presume you are not a New Jersey resident — it might be good to study their auto insurance requirements.

As seems to be a problem with many government agencies, their web pages present so much detail, with so little consumer-friendly information, that you have to sift through the content and decide what makes sense and applies to you. In the above site, the links under the “Consumer Guides” section seem worth looking at. I guess if I were involved in a car accident there I’d consult an attorney for help in dealing with any liability issues. Just because I don’t know the laws there and I’d want to be ready to deal with any issues.

Bob

Thanks

Oh no! I had a bike get smooshed when I was rear-ended. In my case, it bent the crank arm on the drive side, so the crank had to be replaced. If I remember correctly, it cost me about 80 bucks to replace (caveat: cheap hybrid bike and repair done in Illinois where everything is cheaper). In my case, the other driver was at fault and she was more than happy to write a check rather than deal with insurance.

It sounds like insurance is tricker in your case since it’s a case of two cars backing into each other. Unless there’s some frame damage, the cost of repair is likely to be under a reasonable deductible amount. Definitely get a mechanic to take a look and assess what was damaged.

Thanks Judd.

Hopefully it is just the crank arm (non-drive?) and frame didn’t bend, etc. If it is just the crank arm and fork you might be less than your deductible. Personally I wouldn’t file a homeowner’s claim for something that cost less than thousands of dollars due to likelihood of premiums increasing or insurer refusing to renew coverage. But I may be paranoid. I might file an auto claim, if costs were significantly above my deductible.

Good luck!

Thanks. Im not sure yetabt other damage. Not planning to file homeowners but they did end up calling police (other guy was driving for work) and so i think i’ll get my est and contact his ins.co.
