Glad you're ok, but I honestly question how friendly the SCV is for cyclists. My brother use to be a bike messenger in Los Angeles, and he rode his bike down here one time and said he will never ride here again. I just read about this on SCVTalk.

Cyclists have enough problems, but not reporting accidents doesn't help. People need to know there are consequences for not looking for others, and injuring them. Sadly in Santa Clarita, people just don't seem to care. Even the head traffic engineer told me to ride on the sidewalk! The bicycle paths are slowly turning into sidewalks themselves, with driveways being built in more places. REPORT ACCIDENTS WITH BICYCLES!

The teenager, an employee of Magic Mountain on his way to work, simply”drove into” him. The cyclist wasn’t injured too badly, but says the teenager took off after apologizing. The bike blogger says several people stopped to help him. This is why I avoid the west side of town; with the exception of Valencia Blvd in West Ridge, there’s practically no bike lanes.

An old lady. My bike was damaged. I was not thinking straight and only got a phone number. When I called the number later, the lady on the line said she didn't know anything about it and I have the wrong number. It’s been many years since I was hit by a car on my bike (knock on wood).
