I have to be more alert and aware of my surroundings. I turned into a fairly empty street I use almost daily. The driver of the parked car opened her door on the left. I don’t even remember the impact. In all my years I have never been doored. I injured my right knee and shoulder this time. My only functioning bike is my main transportation. I should save for a car but I’ve been saying that on and off since forever. I put that wheel back on because I have to get the mavic checked. The rear was trued a few days ago.

I took styling ques from your build and had my Vigorelli dressed like this on my morning bank errand. Most accidents happen when you least expect so my approach to street riding has been to avoid being in a position to tempt fate. With that being said, Im running a backed wheel on stripped threads using industrial 2 part epoxy (jb weld). My thought is if it's strong enough to withstand the industrial applications which require more than what my legs can generate it should be safe... I'm planning to cut the spokes to reuse the rim when the time comes anyway and the old hub/cog and lock ring can go into the Metal recycling bin in one piece...

And the hits keep on coming... As long as you're learning your lesson. I automatically take the lane or slow down incase of someone pulling out of a parking spot/door. I like the matching polished wheelset 👍
