2020 I was out on a long bike ride and got hit by a motorcycle from behind in rural Appalachia. broke 4 ribs, concussion, road rash from hell. guy stopped, i looked up and he was off his bike staring at me, got on his bike, left me in a bloody mess. a young woman came out of a dilapidated trailer and dragged me off the road. her dad ran out and tossed me into his truck , took me to the hospital but every bed was filled due to covid. finally got to another hospital and got the help i needed. the next day i went to file a police report and the cop said why would you be riding your bike that far from home? nothing ever happened. grateful it was not worse. i still clinch up when i hear a loud car/engine behind me.
Same here...the hair stands up on the back of my neck as I cringe until they go by.
