How could he NOT see you

I am very pleased that you managed to get out relatively unscathed but how do these things happen - I hope he gets charged with dangerous driving.
The weather looks clear, road ok - light clothing, no deep shadows etc...
So glad you are OK but this kind of thing seems to be so common - oops didn't see you....sorry that I squashed you....
I am genuinely scared some days, not of crashing but of being hit by a car and not getting home -
There was another thread that talked about why more women don't ride and MHL get blamed -I think this kind of incident is more to blame...Lots of us are not great bike handlers, especially in the beginning and no matter how good you are you can't escape getting hit from behind.
A lot of women I know are too scared to ever get off the pathways ( I try and say they have their own dangers) -
It seems like you run the gauntlet every time you get on the road - this is not supposed to be an extreme sport is it?
I am lit up like a xmas tree - flashy light on the bike - front and back and a really stupid looking one on my helmet (such a dag) -and still nearly get cleaned up - the nice ones wave and say sorry - the others just glare -
you are a lucky man to get out with the injuries you did- hope you heal quickly and your bike and gear is replaced - and that you are back on a bike soon..
