Cracked and Bent
That's the state of my bike. It's a total write-off. I spoke with the guy at the bike shop today. Hearing about the state of the bike it is surprising how lightly I got off.I'm getting by with just one crutch for most of the day, but taking the pair with me, "just in case". This evening I'm trying to get by without using them. A hot bath has helped.
The police are charging the driver with failing to give way. (That's 'yield' for those outside NZ.) I know I said I was going to suggest to the police (they rang on Sunday) that they charge her with the lesser, and they have, but part of me wants her charged with driving causing injury. After discussing it in a cycling forum I decided to not try and influence the police as to the charge, as her history would be taken into account by the police. Nevertheless part of me wants her charged with causing injury.
