I'm glad to hear you're ok. It's pretty scary getting hit.

I spent a week in the hospital with a punctured lung when an old lady
ran a stop sign and hit me on my bike.

I was once waiting in a line of cars at a light (about 4th in line), and some bozo
didn't stop and hit me from behind. Pushed my bike (a 3-speed schwinn :-)
onto the trunk of the car in front of me, and left me standing with about
12 inches between the two bumpers. Shook for a week. He did buy me a new
Schwinn World Sport (1981 or thereabouts).
