The bike dealer told me the bike is totaled. The fork and frame are bent. He gave me a replacement cost estimate for the bike and helmet. I decided to get a Trek 1200 which is similar or maybe a little better than my GT Force. The gearing looks a little better, anyway.
My scrapes are just about healed up and most of the shoulder pain is gone. The only time it seems to hurt now is at some limits of motion, so I guess I need to just keep exercising it will be fine. Listening to other stories, I think I got off easy.
The only thing left for me to do is file the insurance claim for the bike and see how that turns out. Some people tell me the insurance co will just settle and others say the insurance co will try to stick it to me.
