The irony of my surname "Madill" is not lost on me right now. The fact that I've had worse slams skating than the incident last night has been playing on my mind, the only difference being that if I slam on my board it's my fault. Last night I was riding in a very reserved manner, which I don't always do, but this guy was not paying attention and managed to ride up the back of my bike.
I'm going to keep listenning to advise, not do any malicious and just make sure that his insurance replaces my bike, and if my shoulder ends up being worse than I think, then I'll cross that bridge with the knowledge that I've had a GP look at it.
To clarify, I think the Scooter Guy was at fault and so does the witness who was in the stationary traffic.
I've turned the other cheek on many occasions, this time I am not going to be so accomodationg as I believe the guy needs to understand that paying attention will benefit HIM aswell as other road users.
