Cyclist collides with car

The car was surely an insurance write off. I thought if the damage repair cost 50% or more of the value of the car, then it was a write off. Those windows cost about £30 at Autoglass.

I had a claim last year for a side panel. The car was worth £1500 max and the insurance company paid £1700 for just a panel.

The cyclist wouldn't have broken the window had he not been wearing a helmet.

The rear mech when through the window.

Glad you got paid out Matt. Insurance and what people do to avoid paying can be a minefield. Are you retired from cycling these days.

Nope, I went out on my bike last week and died after 5 miles!

Heading out tomorrow and day after. Going Florida next year so want to get my body back in shape.

Keep up good work friend. I am currently going in other direction heading for motorbike and giving up cycling.
