This is Margot's story which just had to be shared, and with her permission I have reposted her story on…

Hi Bobby,
Sorry about your collision. At least you are OK.
If you provide brief details of your collision, I will add to list on AC group Look For Cyclists at http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/lookforcyclists/forum/topics/collisions-1 Am collating data that may be used for cycling advocacy.
Of course you are welcome to join the group and post your own experiences.
Cheers, Heather
