10 Replies
What do you do?I got doored last summer, and I wasn't badly injured at all, but I insisted on going to the hospital (because my job is physically demanding, and if I had a fracture or even sprain, I…Continue

9 Replies
Hey- I had this bike gifted to me, and I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it or sell it- anybody have any good suggestions where I can find out what a reasonable price is for an SE Draft bicycle?Continue

Carma Nibarger replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'when you get doored- or otherwise hit...'"I did submit it to my insurance, but because there was no "at fault"... I ended up in debt collect. Honestly, I'm still thoroughly baffled."
Carma Nibarger replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"but everybody- thank you for your help. I guess I'll just have to make a good old fashioned pros and cons list :)"
Carma Nibarger replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"lol- I did that, and couldn't find a bike that looks like the one I have (I thought the nature of my question would indicate that I'm more of a novice and not well learned in the ways of the bicycle).
but thanks!

James BlackHeron replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"$100 new would be a dream IMHO.
Put $30 in a planet bike fender set, a plastic chain guard on, and a used 3-speed hub on it and for well under $50 more you've got a pretty nice.
That rear wheel looks like 2 cross pattern and I bet if you…"
Lanterne Rouge replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"Those were $99 on Bonktown around black Friday. I had one in my 'cart' and almost pushed the 'complete order' button when a moment of clarity hit me and I said to myself, "why the hell am I doing this? I don't even…"
John Wayman replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'when you get doored- or otherwise hit...'"Isn't getting doored pretty much like getting rear ended?? If you were in a bike lane, minding your own business and someone in front of you negligently opened their door into traffic, how could that be your fault??? And therefore, didn't…"
Chris B replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'when you get doored- or otherwise hit...'"Yes, basically in the end always press charges. You can always drop them later if the person wants to settle with your insurance company. Don't rely on police for ANYTHING, this even goes for violent crime victims. It doesn't matter if you…"
James BlackHeron replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"Steel is real. Plastic and aluminum are for beverage containers.
What are 5-6lbs in the scheme of things? Not even a gallon of milk."
J.A.W. 15.08 km replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"I have one that I love.
I'd say keep it for riding around town. It's got a steel frame, so a bit heavy, but rides luxuriously.
OTR has it for $270 (that's where I got mine from), you can get one online for $199."
James BlackHeron replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'SE Draft... pricing?'"This guy seems to think it is worth $240 to him.
PayBay seems to show that it is worth quite a bit less. It doesn't seem like people are biting at these presently even for considerably lower prices.
As to whether you…"
"Carma - not sure exactly. I have an SE Lager and I know Performance Bike had the best store price. IIRC the SE line can also be bought on-line maybe from Bikesdirect.com ? I bought mine at a LBS so I payed more than the best retail…"
Brendan Kevenides replied to Carma Nibarger's discussion 'when you get doored- or otherwise hit...'"Carma,
It sounds to me like you did all the right things. To hell with what the police think. Here's a blog post I wrote about a guy who thought he was ok and didn't go to the…"

- About me:
- I like bike riding. To and fro, but I wouldn't say I'm proficient. I can't do handsfree, or a coasting dismount. But my grandma can, and I think that should count for something.
I moved to Chicago over a year ago, and I gotta say, I really like the place. It's a great town. Hopefully this year, I'll get some kite-flying in!
