As with the others, glad she is ok.
I've pretty much given up/refuse to ride those certain hours when the sun is at those angles. Just not worth it. Even last night as my daughter logging some behind the wheel hours for her license, we hit that bright sun/low angle. Could not even really see the cars in front of us, let alone someone on a bike(blinky light or not). |

Sorry to hear this. Speedy recovery, and ride safe.

I'm glad she's okay!
Too often it doesn't work out like that - I'm going to a wake tomorrow night for a guy I knew from high school who was struck and killed last week. I also, like many others, now ride with a "blinky" at all times ... even though I understand it might not help. |

Keith,
It sounds like you did everything right. Troopers have a time frame to complete an accident report. If there are injuries than they should use a long form. I purchased mine online. It took about a week and was $16. I purchased mine (in Fl) from www.Buycrash.com I hope she heals well. Quote:

Glad to hear she wasn't seriously injured.
Friend who helps me with hay drove into my barnyard a couple of weeks ago and drove over my air compressor. Not as big a lump as a cyclist, but he was probably only going 10 mph and couldn't see it for the sun. |

So sorry to hear about this. I hope she heals up. If it had been one of the ladies in our group I probably would have been invited for a ride in the Police car. Your composure is to be applauded.

Sigh of relief that your friend is not seriously injured. Based on the thread title I opened prepared to read something different. Wishing her a speedy and full recovery.

Keith, good to know she's doing ok. That's a scary situation to find yourself in.
I had a guy stop me one day & tell me that, because of the sun angle, he didn't see me until he was right on top of me. I hadn't thought about the cars seeing me because of the sun. I did what you are doing - avoided that road at that time for a few weeks. Sometimes it just takes being aware & going the other direction to make yourself safer. |

We had one of the other cyclist in our group ride in the ambulance with her, and my friend asked me to ride to her car and then drive it to the hospital. We also arranged to for someone to pick up her bike from the side of the road -- so we made sure she was taken care and had a friendly face with her the whole time.

glad she's alright overall and that injuries weren't more serious. that could've been quite bad.
as others said, best to do everything you can to avoid riding into/away from the sun, especially this time of year when we're trying to maximize riding time and it's low in the sky. |
