Good news!!
The other guy's insurance adjuster called a short while ago and said they would pay 100% on the bike and the iPhone and pay 80% of the medical costs. My health insurance will pay most of the bills so no big deal.
Now its time to go bike shopping. Course I'm off the bike for 3 weeks so no hurry. I cant' ride (including any test ride) until Sept 22.
2015 Cannondale CAAD 10 3??

That is great. But why only 80% medical, they should step up and pay all, not let your insurance cover and give them an excuse to raise premiums.

Great news Ron. It's a hard way to get a new bike. Enjoy!

Great news indeed, Ron, the '15 CAAD 10 are nice looking, they've changed things a bit, more disk brake offerings, the Rival model (old 10 4) is disk only now. The Ultegra 3 model you mentioned seems really nice.

Hmm... Are you sure your insurance wants to pay anything when the other guy was at fault?

I was seriously injured in a bike accident in 2012, and my beloved classic Bridgestone RB-1 was totalled, but I still had a nice Cannondale Mountain Bike for the winter when I resumed riding. When spring came around I was faced with the happy, but dreaded prospect of shopping for a new bike, That accident made me realize how important cycling is to me, and that much more than half of my cycling lifetime was behind me:
…I always wondered if the premium prices of CF, which I considered to be about $2000 was worth the presumed enhanced riding experience…
My trusted mechanic said here’s the bike you want, knowing my riding style. Well the MSRP was $8000, but he got it for me at half off.
…Personally, I can afford it, and it was an offer I could not refuse. Cycling is that important to me and I’m fortunate to be able to continue the lifestyle [after a serious cycling accident], so that puts it in perspective for me.

It will be nice to get a new bike. Sad -- the bike I'm replacing was not quite 4 months old (I bought it 8 May 2014) so it was still new to me.

The check for the busted iPhone 4S came in the mail yesterday. Went to the Verizon store today and picked up a 5S. I'm not a phone junky so don't need a 6 or 6 Plus.
The check for the bike should be here next week. I'm going bike shopping on Tuesday (Sept 23). That's the first day the doc (and my wife) said I can ride. I'll be test riding bikes and hopefully will bring something home, if the bike doesn't have to be ordered.

And how much for pain and suffering?
