So some woman pulled out in front of me and I went over the bars, both hubs need a fix but the more important thing is that my rear triangle is bent to one side about half a centimetre.

She's now offering to pay for a whole new bike after saying that she defiantly couldn't afford it. and also wont give me her insurance information and diverts the subject whenever it's brought up. very shifty.

What should I do to make sure I don't get fucked?

Also judge my bike choice general.

Also what bike should I get after I sell the new and old one for parts?

She doesn't have insurance.
Longer you wait = less chance of getting compensation. Tell her that you're going to file a police report and take her to court unless she pays you immediately.
>Also what bike should I get after I sell the new and old one for parts?
An old ten speed

Too late. You need to file police report at the time of the accident. No police report? You are not going to be able to get anything from her unless she feels like it

Ok I'll go to a police station in the morning and see if I can still do it, I took pictures of the scene and plates and have texts from her is this enough?

Just check somthing, under UK law she failed to exchange details at the scene and the owner of the motorised vehicle that resulted in damage or injury is required to file a police report within 24hrs, not necessarily the victim. at least I can pull this on her as a nuclear option. See how she likes a nice juicy fine.

They might create a report for you if you are lucky. If you live in a real city there might be a a lawyer who specializes in bike stuff who may be able to help you with the police if you can't get anywhere.

More important is that you are okay. If you just got hit might be worth getting checked by a doctor.

Best of luck

If you are in the UK, google CTC or CyclingUK lawyer. They have specialist lawyers who would be able to advise you 100%.

don't take shit into your own hands. you're not rambo. you have the moral high ground here and you can extract whatever you could reasonably want via legal means. if you do something childish and petty like key her car people will immediately forget about what she did wrong and focus on the most recent injustice — you being a cunty little child.

There is no nuclear option. Just play it by the books and stop fucking around.

If she wants to settle it without insurance paying out, then you can still do that. If she wants to record of an accident happening, you're a fucking idiot.

>wont give me her insurance information and diverts the subject whenever it's brought up.

She should have given it to you at the accident site. If not, the police should have handled that.

Normally I'm not one to say that cyclists should have licenses and insurance, but this thread is proof that there is way too much ignorance and naivete. Some education would go a long ways here and we wouldn't have stupid nonsense like "revenge is always an option"

1. You should have filed a police report immediately
2. She is trying to jerk you around and the more you fall for her delay tactics the less chance you'll see anything

If you don't have a police report or video of her pulling out you are already getting nothing.
We will see you soon on a yard sale rigid mtb.

Call the cops right after the accident.
