In April a 93 year old lady hit me with her car. I have no memory of it. I remember riding down a rural road on a peaceful Sat morning, then my next memory is laying on a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance. Then my next memory is walking out of the hospital with my daughter to go home. I spent about 3 hours in the hospital I don't remember. Bad concussion that messed me up for about 3 weeks. The lady claimed her side mirror hit me and knocked me off my bike but my rear wheel was toast so I think she just rear ended me. Aside from my concussion I broke a rib and a few other minor owies. I would say my helmet very possibly saved my life. This was the first time in 31 years of road cycling that I ever went down for any reason. I never even had an accidental solo crash before.
