zoe,
sad to hear of your accident. hope you are healing up well. last week on the way to the salt mine i almost dropped my bike on some wet cobblestones...i think it frightened the car behind me moreso than myself... here in berlin there are so many bike lanes and bike have an actual existence within the traffic universe... we even have bike traffic jams. however everyone is very law abiding - a difficult adjustment for me, raised mad maxing it on the mean streets of dc... ah but i ramble...anyway as they say in germany 'gute besserung'
Thanks William! I am indeed healing up well - fyi for the world, arnica oil is FANTASTIC for bruises and sore muscles. Just rub it on and it relieves pain and increases circulation and you'll heal in no time...
Yes, I had a similar adjustment when I spent a week in Amsterdam (rented a bike, of course!) I think the best part was that all the other bike riders were so confident, they'd just whiz past pedestrians while eating an apple and talking on their cellphones. Here in DC if you do that people jump out of their pants with terror and half the time they jump in your way, but in Amsterdam the pedestrians (except tourists) are very calm and keep walking in the same direction making it very easy to steer around them :)
