Knocked off... info from Strava?

[SavageHoutkop]

Well, that was interesting. I was reversed into (while stationary) tonight on the way home. I'm OK I think, but cross, and I'm typing up my recollections while I sleep on whether or not to report to the police. (will also check bike over properly tomorrow but I think she's fine).

Strava was recording at the time, but I don't have a camera yet (I was toying with the idea, I think I might be shopping online later!!). How can I use the Strava info to prove where the incident was? I have the 'auto pause' thingy on.

I've used mine for my case, you can get Ride Viewer (ver 1.4) which shows you all the data in tabular format, and it shows the bike stationery.

Strava and Garmin Connect will also show an overlay of where you are on the road, via google earth, but ride viewer will say how long stationery etc.

It showed my at 13mph when the car hit me, and then the bike was flung some distance and was on the floor for 30 minutes (also shows elevation).


PS GMP will do bob all ! Report it for the sake of a 'reference number'.

I hope you are OK ?

 

[SavageHoutkop]

Thanks. Fine I think, wrists might be a bit stiff tomorrow. And adrenaline will wear off soon. I was very cross and shouty which isn't normally me...

Take a couple of ibuprofen before bed to help with the inflammation, could stick some frozen peas on the sore bits too (wrapped in a teatowel)

Presumably you got the drivers details? Any witnesses?

Hope nothing too sore in the morning

 

[fossyant]

Shouty works fine for me !!

The data from the Garmin will show the bike on the floor (altitude drop without long/lat change).

Clever bits of stuff, even the basic 200 - that's what I had on in my off. It's going to crucify the driver !!

Has the driver not admitted liability?

 

[SavageHoutkop]

Yes, driver stopped, I have photo of his reg plate & taxi number and his phone number too. Passing pedestrian helped me off the floor and gave his number as a witness too. Think bike is unscathed but will double check tomorrow. On the Brompton with my front bag so that probably cushioned her a bit!

Can't seem to get Edge to work (probably as I don't have a Garmin, only Strava) but Strava online is letting me move along my route and the sudden 4 minute gap in my journey confirms precise location!

Has the driver not admitted liability?

They don't these days until very late in the case. £5k in interim payments so far, and other 'agreed costs' they will pick up. And promises of more payments if I need it... so, given the payments, I'd say yes.

PS in Ride Viewer, click on tools and log editor, it lets you see all the logs the garmin made, so will log you at stop, then the next log will be the bike on the floor as there is a 'change'. The bigger garmins log more info.

Connect the garmin to the PC, manually navigate using the windows file manager to the garmin, and you'll find the fit files in date order. Copy this to your PC. Download Ride Viewer and open the fit file.

So I don't follow the crucify comment? Presumably when you are recovered, the insurance company will pay out a sum in line with norms for your injury and prognosis and any out of pocket, loss of earnings and what not.
Are the police prosecuting? If not, the driver will potentially be penalised through insurance premiums, depending on policy, ncb protection and whatever other algorithms are used by insurers for the next 3-5 years

PS You can use Garmin Express to upload to Strava also. That does Garmin and Strava in one swoop. Use Garmin Basecamp to look at the route.

The evidence on the Garmin backs up my case. TBH the driver doesn't have a case as he can't really say what happened, other than he turned right across me but didn't see me.

What case? That they were at fault? You've said that seems to been have accepted anyhow?

Yes, just trying to say that the Garmin recorded information is useful for the OP - this will back up that she said she was stationery. For me, it was that I was going slow and in the middle of my lane.
