That's awful Frank - what an a**hole. Hope it all mends soon, take care.

Broke a bone in my hand after a driver attacked me and threw me down on my bike (bent my seatpost as well!). Should be better in about a month - not a bad break, no surgery needed thank god. He cuts me off, I yell at him that I had right of way, he gets out of truck, grabs me (while I'm walking away with both hands on handlebars and 25 pounds in my backpack so I'm defenceless) and throws me to ground. I try to get plate number so he pushes me to ground again and drives away. He couldn't be traced so cops can't do a thing. I may have a claim against the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board. Incident happened Friday, went to hospital Sunday and yesterday got temporary cast off and got fitted for splint. Still working, with a Metropass, riding transit and walking. Can ride again next Monday. Taking camera with me to work now, so that's a good thing! ;-) cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
