Oboeguy,

sorry to hear of your injury, and i hope you feel better and your bike was okay. What part of the lane were you in? It seems to me this type of accident is much less likely if you were in the middle of the lane, but maybe you were and it happened anyway. I'm not much of a believer in vehicular cycling in places where there isn't much traffic and the cars can get away with going fast (i.e. where i live now.) But in a place like manhattan, riding in the middle lane and forcing anybody who wants to pass to switch entirely to another lane seems like the best thing to do most of the time, to me.
