<p>They have bicyclist roadside assistance program, and non-owners vehicle insurance in a few states. Not Illinois, but they do promise to find you non-owners vehicle insurance in your state.</p>

<p>This is very solid advice about the importance of two relatively unknown types of insurance: Uninsured (covers you if the other driver doesn't have insurance) and Underinsured (covers you when the other driver doesn't have enough insurance). To add this coverage is not much more financially, but can make a HUGE difference if the driver who hit you has little insurance or no insurance at all.</p>

<p>If you don't have a car, you can always see if you can be added to a family member, friend, or roommate's insurance policy. You can also look into a "non owner policy" but not all insurance companies offer those.</p>

<p>I once asked State Farm about a named non-owner policy (Allstate doesn't offer it), and it seemed very expensive. They were basically charging a full auto policy, less the insurance for the actual car. It was priced for someone who would drive everyday but didn't own a car, instead of pricing for someone who might rent a car a few times a year.</p>

<p>So thankful you're ok. You are so insanely fortunate - hope the signs keep aligning for you. I'm looking into my insurance situation right now - thanks for the heads up.</p>

<p>I'm glad to hear that you've made a good recovery and that there was insurance coverage. This is why it's really smart to have good UM/UIM coverage.<br/><br/>Also, for someone who doesn't own a car but occasionally drives, a non-owner policy with UM/UIM coverage may be an option. If you're hit by an uninsured, underinsured or unidentified hit & run driver, it can help a lot. </p>

<p>Thomas, you may be the new face of urban resiliency! That's an incredible story, I'm thrilled you're back up and at it on two wheels, some people never regain their nerve after accidents much less severe.</p>
<p></p>
<p>And a huge *thank you* for the insurance info, I honestly can't remember what the heck I have, but sounds like something more of us should be signing up for.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Best wishes for the remainder of the century to be accident-free for you!</p>

Thomas, this is just fantastic to hear. All in our cycling community here were hoping for the best when we heard of this incident. Glad to hear you are back in the saddle. Continued wishes for your total recovery.
