3/23 December 2014:
I was ‘brushed’ by a car, put into the curb and crashed onto the sidewalk: Two broken ribs, smashed RH collar bone & attendant bruising. My helmet was crushed (right frontal). I now have a ‘goofy’ looking right shoulder (bad doctor).
She was on her cell phone and never saw me or what she had done.
I now avoid busy hours & days. I avoid holidays & other times when we Americans seem to go ‘effing’ crazy.

BTW: 1) I was wearing my usual obnoxious coloration: 1) lime day-glow yellow helmet; 2) bright yellow shirt; very bright flashing tail light.
BTW: Two witnesses gave me the license #. Cops couldn’t do anything. However, subsequently, she had to buy a new set of tires – she has new tires but my shoulder is still goofy looking.
