I have been hit,,so what. of course you have to tell the wife,,tell the wife and get back on your bike.
Dont even give any doubt that you are going to get back on the bike,,and thats it.

I am much more careful, the problem seems to be this, every driver is different and it is hard to know how to react,,when approaching a 4 way stop for instance I used to ride through it hoping the car would yeild to me,,the problem is some will and some wont,,so I decided I would come to a complete stop after the time I got hit. Then you have the driver that just wont go till you go,,he knows he should yield to a person on a bike,,,so then you stop,,,he wont move lol and you have to go in front of him anyway. Then you have the driver at a 2 way stop you have the right away and he rolls through the stop sign and almost hits you even though you have the right of way.

I think you greatly reduce your chance of being hit by just not being in a hurry, dont do stupid things like I always used to do like try to beat a car while crossing a big road,,i used to do that stuff when young, now I am so much more careful,,i think I wont get hit again.
