Cruising for a bruising

Yesterday, Sadly, I drove. Today it rained the whole way in but a nice mist that made it musty and hard to see. Anyway, that was OK. I haven't been feeling energized much or motivated but after I ride I feel better than if I don't ride. In fact I get cranky when I think about not riding. I did not ride yesterday and now I may not ride tomorrow. (If so tomorrow will be the 4th missed day for the year. I was crossing Bradkey St on the 176 Path heading West not too far from 43. I was not quick today but I just kept rolling. Before I get to the intersection I unclipped and made eye contact with a driver of a blue truck and he stopped short of the intersection so I clipped back in and went. Just as I get off the sidewalk I realize he has pulled up to turn right on Red! I grasped for the hood and I think I unclipped but in any case I went down and felt the wind knocked out of me. A paint guy (construction guy marking lines etc. with paint) asked if I was OK etc but I felt sore but ok. I went home showered and ate turkey and cheese. Upon trying to move I got a lot of pain.

Left side must have hit bar end or something. I feel some majorley bruised ribs or some such. In retrospect I should have gotten info before the guy took off but he didn't even get out of his truck. He could at least bought me a new earbud. (on long sections with no crossings I listen to news and weather to know well... the news and weather.) It was not on at the time but the wire had pulled out of the connector and left only the metal stub in the ear phone jack. It's just the one (like they use on cell phones?) My local radioshack has closed. We will see how I feel after 2nd job but I may again use the stupid car as per my wife's wishes.

I did not feel any loose spokes but did not do a thourough check. I felt like it wasn't rolling right a half hour after the collision but I was tired and the adrenaline and shock had worn off. I do not like rude inconsiderate cager drivers. Should I have been more careful? Yu, live and learn but I do not think it wwas my fault. Oh emailed Trek to figure out year of my bike. I don't have owners manual... Can a trek owner tell me where to look for the serial #?
