Well, just in case...cover your bases. If someone comes forward out of guilt....
what if he hit a pole in the dark? or face planted because of a pothole?
I once saw a drunk kid hit a 4x4 metal bus stop sign on his bike, he just sorta stopped moving, and tipped over in one piece. It would have been comical if not for him falling into the street.

I mean, yeah, maybe that could've happened, but I was sober at the time. I take the road I assume I was on when it happened every day and know where all the potholes are, and never ride on the sidewalk so I can't imagine I hit a pole.
I guess it doesn't really matter what happened. Noone is going to come forward out of guilt, hit and runs are pretty much the norm in Philly when someone hits a biker.

well if you know you were in the street, chances are it was a car. and probably a drunk driver given the time. You have lights and crap on your bike?

Funny I almost always wear a helmet. Today halfway home I realized I had left it at work

Damn man, hope everything turns out good for you. Glad to hear you're doing well (or as well as possible) now, lucky you didn't sustain more damage.

I have a light on my bag and reflectors on my bike, should have more though.

in your honest opinion should the driver have seen you?
if yes, than file a report
maybe they nailed a DUI around where you got hurt
take care of yourself
concussions aren't anything to mess with
hope you don't have more than a concussion to deal with
