Didn't commute today-too tired from last 2 days. Good thing though other wise I would have missed the call from my son of his commuting accident. He got nailed by a lady who ran a stop sign. Thankfully she was only going about 10 when she hit hiim. He is ok he says, just scratched up. After finding out about him, I then turned to the bike that I built him at Thanksgiving. He said the wheels are shot but the rest seemed to be ok.
He got the lady's insurance info which I told him to go to the doctor and get checked out even though he say's he's fine. You never know what is lurking underneath. Then he is taking the bike to a LBS to see if it is worth fixing or if he should just get another one. Wish him luck.
