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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
