Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

First, that's amazing that you got a response so quickly!

Second, there's some back-and-forth on the thread about my bike and crash right now.

There are a lot of ways to slice this one. Several of them are covered very well--by well-meaning and thoughtful people--on that thread.

Hope all goes well for you, Reich. It really sucks to play boy-meets-car....

I would minimum be riding a Madone after what you just went through
I am not a big fan of suing other people but get what you think you deserve.
Forget that Trek on back order. Time to upgrade to steel or carbon.
I was not kidding about riding a Madone...the least they can do.

IMO, waiting for the bike is pain and suffering.

they'll want to settle as soon as they can and will make you and offer for pain and suffering. this locks them out of paying out more if you sue the insurance company. if you're not injured badly (i haven't read your previous post) you could take a settlement now knowing that's all you'll get.

They offered me $700 pain and suffering and $1000 medical, I figured I'd hold out until the soreness in my back and neck clear up and maybe some xrays.
