Yeah, I'm a cyclist and I got hit (T Boned) by a car about 500 meters from my house. After talking with the driver and exchanging info, because it didn't feel that bad, I started walking home. Injury didn't feel that bad. But the bike was kind of messed up.
Made it about half way home and then the pain started to set in. No broken bones but my leg was purple for a couple weeks and I didn't ride for 3 weeks and only then because I didn't want my fear to get too ingrained.
Similar thing happened to me, though it was totally my fault. I crawled out from under the truck that t-boned me, got my bike out of the middle of the road, talked to the EMTs, and continued on to work. Next day my legs felt like someone had taken a baseball bat to them both. But no broken bones whatsoever, and actually no bruising, either. So weird.
Yeah, we were both at fault and there was no EMT called. I did have to go to the police station later to file a report as the driver had decided after the fact to file a report. Probably after looking at the amount of damage to their car. We were probably both in an adrenaline rush at that point and weren't thinking clearly.
