"Agreed, without a more detailed description of the crash, and possibly a diagram, I don't see much intelligent discussion about this incident happening. Surely the OP will deliver. "

Car avoiding cyclist problem

I'm an avid cyclist out here in the boonies, but while attempting to parallel park my car i started to back into my spot and while doing so a cyclist was coming around the outside and to avoid hitting my car he turned out of the way and fell down.  His shoes were clipped in so he had some road rash and now his tires are bent.  He is wanting me to repair his bike now, what are my options.  I saw him coming but my turning into my spot was a real quick problem, HELP!!!!See More
