We were some 10km into our ride, going at about 15kph, on a sunny Sunday afternoon, when at a T intersection a car came from our right, made a left turn and hit me head-on, narrowly missing my BIL. Luckily she wasn't going fast and braked at the last second, I estimated the car speed at about 10kph.
I fell, my bike was under the bumper, the driver came out and apologized. I was very angry and asked her how could she be so reckless, hitting me that way. My BIL is a MD, he checked me out on the spot and found nothing broken, only a big bump on my right calf where the bumper hit. The bike had a tacoed front wheel.
The driver offered to take me to the hospital, said she was nervous because she was going to see her sister who was just admitted there. I declined and asked her to pay for my wheel, which she did without any complain and left.
My BIL called his wife who took both of us home. I was prescribed rest, ice and elevation and I'm doing OK, only a little pain, glad not to had my leg broken, but what worries me is she didn't notice me on a clear day, no other traffic around, wearing a bright yellow and black jersey (me) and a bright green/white one (my BIL)!
