To the man, woman and other concerned individuals that helped me gather myself together after my bicycle not-so-gently made love to the side of a vehicle this afternoon, your assistance was greatly appreciated. I didn’t get to thank you appropriately at the time. Your compassion, or perhaps my inflammatory response, makes me feel all warm and tingly inside.

Was this at the Spring Garden Road and Brenton Street intersection by any chance, with the angry, impatient guy in the rusty old van honking his horn?
Glad you’re OK!
A year ago from your your collision I was unceremoniously t-boned on my road bike at Bedford Highway and Dartmouth Road in broad daylight. Upon flying over the hood of her auto, taking out the windshield with my head and left shoulder, the female driver opens her door, cell phone adhered to her left ear, and declares, “Sorry, didn’t see you”.
Are you alright?
Bikes vs. cars again? Ottawa and Vancouver do not have these issues.
