If you're in a crash would this be you?

So today I took Sport out for a neighbor hood ride and then another 10 miles or so touring Palm Springs. All bike paths and sidewalks. At a 3 way stop that I have navigated many times I was making a left after slowing down but not stopping. An SUV ran the stop sign to my right and missed me by 6 inches. He was going pretty fast and only sheer luck and a quick, hard veer to the left by me avoided a disaster. It was a dumb mistake on my part. If he would have hit me, I was just as at fault as he was. Lesson learned-especially with an ebike. I can get back up to speed in a flash...
I've got medical insurance; my bike doesn't.

If you were the guy in the OP's cartoon, you'd reverse that situation.

I can remember my recent Levo SL demo ride during which I had to do an emergency braking and flew over the bars. It was a controlled crash and totally nothing bad happened to me.
One of FB friends commented on my report:
'You seemed to be totally uninterested what happened to your e-bike?!' to which I replied:
'It was not my e-bike'

Healthcare isn't free. Paid for by someone else.

Paid for by everyone, but hey my bad, I have a local forum open on the next tab, posted to what I thought was a local crowd.
lets agree to differ perhaps and get back to bike fun, flame me in a pm if freedom demands it..
10-4 UK. Prepaid, not paid for by someone else. My bad. Shouldn't assume US.
