Last weekend, while biking through the Southeast Como neighborhood, I was involved in a hit-and-run collision with a Comcast service van. As I was riding in the bike lane alongside the van, we reached an intersection and the van turned to the right, hitting me and my bicycle. Having a heavy vehicle hit your approximately 25-pound bicycle is a terrifying experience. Even more upsetting was the fact that the driver didn’t stop afterward. Thankfully, I was not injured and my bicycle was damaged, but still useable.
