    Accident with a pedestrian on my ebike

    I did not ask the Police if they were planned to prosecute her for causing the accident. To be honest I was pretty sore after hitting the road. Thinking back I should have asked. No I am not claiming for my injuries. No broken bones. I just want to get back on my bike and know where I stand...
