The daily Close Call

yeah im fine, a bit cut up and a black eye...but ok.
my bike is rideable, but bent my toptube. gutted.

btw it was his fault. He was driving on the wrong side of the road, over taking a queue of traffic to turn right. A car pulled out without seeing me, which I had to swerve, didnt see this guy on my side of the road.. crunch.
He was more shook up than I was.

I'd definitely follow this one up. If you're certain it wasn't your fault (car driving on wrong side of road sounds pretty conclusive to me) then you're owed a new frame. You shouldn't be out of pocket...no matter how nice the dude in the car was after the event. Him being all smiles and nice is the sheer relief that his recklessness didn't end up killing you. I know you're glad to be alive/come off relatively unscathed but that don't mean you should be forking out. I don't believe in claiming for anything and everything but this sounds more than fair to me.

No idea how bad your bike is but i certainly wouldn't be riding a bike with a bent top tube. :s

How does the morning after feel? :)
