I was hit on a bicycle

I wasnt going 20mph, a jogging pace though.

It was in Athens OH (kinda small college town), outside of downtown limits, and I was in a crosswalk so the driver was "at fault" - almost same as above, she was turning right on red and didnt see me.

I don't know if she held a grudge against me - her insurance agent told me that she was very remorseful (she knocked me onto the ground braking my clavicle (?)) I definitely didnt hold a grudge against her - as an "overachieving" motorcycle rider , I ride (motorcycles and bicycles) as if I am the only one that can keep me from getting hit.

(this might not be accurate at all times, but, you gotta look out for yourself becuase no one else will - I failed to do that when the lady hit me). I consider the accident a failure on both parts. I feel bad that it went on her record (she was ticketed b/c of the crosswalk, other parts of the city it would have been my fault for riding a bike on a sidewalk (???)
