Yup thats me. No need to apologize.

I'm trying to learn from this, and that fills in some blanks. From my perspective, I had to turn in with the guy to my outside, since he was a bit in front of me, and I had to turn more sharply than I would have preferred. It wouldn't have been a problem, but you were on my inside and turned less sharply (I would have hit him with my front wheel if I hadn't hit you from the side). You and I had a bit of space between us, so I hoped you would have time to correct your line, but I guess not. So we bumped, but I knew there might be a problem because it wasn't my body that got bumped. I thought for a moment that we would be ok as we kept going and seemed to recover, but you got a little in front of me, we bumped again and it became clear that we were tangled up somehow, and you wobbled and went down to your left underneath me. I didn't realize you weren't aware that there still might be a problem, but I didn't think it was our handlebars. I actually thought it was my chain hooked onto your pedal or something, from the sound of it and the location of the sound before we went down, and since my handlebars were ok. I think I would have seen the handlebars, but I could be wrong.
