It was a wheelchair curb cut for the valet parking for the near by apartments. No cross walk lines they are about 20 feet down the road where i should have crossed.

Pay her if you want, but I would call her insurance myself and make a claim. See what they say, ya know?
I just got off the phone with her and her insurance company. Her insurance is not willing to cover the damage and they said if they did they would be sueing me for there time and the repairs needed.
The repair quote on the car was only $175 so i can handle that (thank god). This just means the savings for my fixed gear wheel set with have to start from 0 again. After i got over my brused ego i'm just glad no one got hurt.
Lesson learned be much safer when commuting, time is not of the essence.
Oh also went to take a look at the rotor on my bike today and turns out the front scewer just slipped loosened it and tighted it back up and all is well with the bike. I'm very happy as i just bought this brand new Giant seek 1, frist new bike i have ever owned.
