Better your bike bent out of shape than you bent out of shape.
Fr lol. I overheard the paramedics saying they were in the same place this morning for the same kind of accident, but that guy dislocated his shoulder or something.
Huh, sounds like maybe whatever intersection that is needs to be adjusted? You may have much suing the city if it's city infrastructure, by brother got something done that way when he got hit by a car and neither he nor the car were considered at fault (was a bike path intersecting a street and the light gave both right of way or something like that).
It wasn't an intersection, rather an exit for a strip mall parking lot. Still, I think the main reason I was hurt was because of the lines of giant power poles that are in the middle of the sidewalk; a hallmark of my city. I think they're leftovers from when the area had no need for pedestrian infrastructure, let alone bike lanes, and no one's bothered to bury the lines.
