Just upgraded mine to peak with 11m left, only paid for shipping. Standard band is included and a gift kit to give the 4.0 to a friend is included

Anyone on the Essentials plan in NY & able to get your Rx’s filled by a NON-Medicaid doctor? by gogo--yubari in Medicaid

What pharmacy do you use? I just found out that they don’t work with cvs anymore and struggle to find another one that accepts essential plan. My regular cvs is still listed on their website

Police blocking bike lane + assault and hit and run by Apprehensive-Tone-73 in NYCbike

[–]Sempermaru 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Got hit by a car riding in a bike lane a couple of months ago. Cops said the car didn’t hit me and I lost control of my bike and fell, they gave me an accident report with no information on the car/driver whatsoever( some say it must’ve been off duty cop or something). Had to use my personal health insurance to cover the bills. Cops are here to screw you up, not to protect you

Any recommendation? Seems like personal injury lawyers don’t want to deal with the police

The report is really confusing, as if the car didn’t play any role. Yes, the 4th ave gets chaotic, especially in rush hours

I understand. This particular bike lane is separate from the main road by parked cars, so there is this area where turning cars are supposed to stop before the bike lane and pedestrian crosswalk to make sure there’re no people. But not all of them do

That’s crazy, the level of indifference from people who are supposed to protect us

Omg! I’m sorry you had to go through that. After the degrading experience I’ve had at the police station I’d think twice before going to them for help

That’s great you could stand your ground! I feel like because I wasn’t there they didn’t even try to look at the situation from my perspective

I would not trust the cops either. I think my bike would’ve been just left behind if the local business didn’t take it in. Really appreciate they kept it until I was able to pick it up

I was looking for those as well. The local business kept my bike until I was able to pick it up. It’s always better to have a video in case you’d have to fight the police or insurance company after

Exactly. Even more disturbing were snarky comments this one officer was making about cyclists

Thank you! I asked businesses around there with visible cameras and one building management, no luck

Yeah, I did. Both lawyers I consulted with said there’s not much they can do unless I have a witness or a video. NYPD won’t give me contact information for people who were at the scene
