If I can help with bike parts, wheel truing, tune-ups, moral support, or anything, you only need ask. Wishing you very quick and total recoveries. - Lee Diamond

Reddog, I'm glad you're back in the saddle. I took a little spill today on some train tracks, there was a car blocking my way and my tires slid on the track. Minor damage to the bike and road rash for me. But that darn dizzy feeling! My solution; drank beer, then went on the South Side ride. I figured that I would just welcome the dizzy feeling. So drink more beer!<br />

I know of 5 cyclists sent to Chicago hospitals in July. Cars, cyclists, punks and potholes were at fault but the rider always loses. Lauren and Ammo, we all like Cliff, but this copycat victim stuff is not working for you. Recover comfortably and quickly!

How horrible that the guy took off!<br />

I read that if you're not sure of your condition after being hit, (and you often can't know until the next day) to immediately sit then lay down in the street and ask for an ambulance. To fight our first impulse to stand up and appear fine. (In this case, you even made it perfectly clear, despite spinning head, that you needed help!) Just that body down there on ground makes the strong statement that you need help now and folks should not walk away. If he…

Ammo - It really stinks that the jerk and the witnesses left you. I hope you don't suffer any significant long-term effects.<br />
<br />
Lauren - I'm very glad that your driver was decent about it and that insurance will help pay for your medical and dental bills and a new bike.<br />
<br />
Wishing you both as speedy a recovery as possible.
