Good to hear she's feeling OK. Must have had your heart in your throat watching that in slow motion. Lots of Advil for the next few days!!

Glad to hear she is OK. Hope you both get back out as soon as she is ready. First time back out will be stressful for you both. Drive safe.

I really glad she's OK. My girl just bought a bike today and that is my biggest fear. To be behind her and watch it happen. Gives me the shakes just imagining.

Thanks for all the words guys - I'll send her a link to this thread, in a few days.

She's definitely more sore now than she was this morning, and will be increasingly so for the next few. I had a head on 30mph crash on my bicycle with a passenger car door about 10 years ago - on a 15 pound bike. Bounced off it and landed two lanes over. Talk about being more and more sore for a few days - wish I COULDN'T remember it!

Glad she's OK. Make sure you replace the helmet - they're good for one impact an then they're done...
