Got hit and run today....
 

Damage isn't too bad considering it's a walmart bike, held up pretty well...

But what kind of ******* hits somebody and runs off?

She was sitting at a red light trying to turn right, I had a green and right of way, she's staring the the other direction and just creams me. Doesn't ask if i'm ok or anything and just speeds off. I tried to chase after her but lost her. Total bs. Had the bike a damn WEEK.

Sucks man, glad you're ok. It could have been much worse.

I am very lucky I wasnt injured more severely. I'm bummed about the damage but keep telling myself It could have been me damaged. Gotta keep on keepin on I guess.

This is why bikes need cameras mounted in all directions... woohoo.

I was considering a device like this engineered for cars would also help catch hit and runs.

damn, too bad you didn't get the plate. That is crap is just wrong, people have no sense of responsibility

no one gets prosecuted so no one gives a damn about fleeing. I'm glad you weren't knocked out or anything

I usually try to make eye contact with the driver before I make a move, Too many stupid drivers out there.

You would think that other people would have morals and respect for others, but I guess not. Glad to hear you are alright

Damn that sucks, glad to hear you're okay. Karma will get them eventually.

Scary. Glad you are ok. What kind of Walmart bike was it?

Someone said it before, but I feel that during drivers training, kids should all be put on a bike and then put out on a busy road without sidewalks that has a really high speed limit. No more **** like this would happen.

for some reason my computer wont show facebook pics unless i quote them. what's that bike model? looks decent.

Apparently It's a dyno Fijo, but since dyno isnt a company anymore, and it's not on the walmart website, I'm stumped. I rode it around a bit and it felt solid so I grabbed it. I might switch out parts at a later date, but as of now I'm riding and getting back in shape so that's what's important.

Should've thrown your kick stand at her.

I hate riding in the city for this reason. Too many close calls.

you gotta take the lane at intersections, avoid the right hook! im glad u and your bike are ok.

Thanks for all the kind words ya'll. Might have some cheap ebay parts on the way to get her back to normal. Still rides but she's a little wonky.

get it checked at a shop.

you likely have the canadian version of wallyworld's infamous mongoose cachet...

may be you should take this incident as the universe telling you it wants you on a different bike & instead of sinking any money into that thing, why don't you save up whatever you would spend on it & put that towards something less accursed ;)

Are the welds going to come undone? I'm not sure what's so deadly compared to a kilo tt in terms of quality vs price. If you have any insight into that feel free to elaborate.

It's not on the BFSSFG approved list. Burn it.

:roflmao2:

just try to get the license plate # next time.

your only hope (and even then probably not a good one) at getting some justice.

illegal aliens.
E.T..

If you are covered by car insurance, you should determine whether you are entitled to compensation for an uninsured motorist collision. It's doubtful, since it seems like you weren't injured, and I don't think all car insurances include bike v. car accidents as "motor vehicle" accidents, but check it out - you could get lucky. I was in a hit-and-run collision and I was able to get my medical bills covered plus a modest settlement.
