Someone hit my bike the other day. Not hard, just enough to damage the rear wheel. At the time, he was quite apologetic and gave me his business card. I also made a note of his reg. #.
I've taken the bike into an LBS for them to look at. It may just need truing, but in the event that the rim is cracked or the hub is damaged, I would want the wheel replaced. I've texted the guy letting him know but he hasn't responded yet.
Should I do anything else at this stage? Should I proceed with the repairs and then simply ask for this guy to repay once I have a receipt of the costs.
If he doesn't respond or doesn't want to pay for a replacement wheel, do I engage legal channels?
Thanks
