That is the doubt in my mind too butcher.
The guy seemed decent and was aware that these bikes cost money, but might not be too happy about the cost of an ultrega wheelset and a carbon frame…
I’m going to stew on it a bit – if anyone else has any experience on the police dilemma I’d like to know.
What’s making me think I should:
* I need to protect myself from having to pay the repairs – it clearly wasn’t my fault.
* I should register an accident to have something to refer to.
What’s making me think I shouldn’t:
* The guy was very helpful and has promised to pay. He admitted it was his fault, gave me a lift home etc.
* I’d like to think we can sort this without resort to the police.
Not sure if those are good enough reasons though, I might bite the bullet, call the guy up and explain first, then call the police.
EDITED – Just seen IRC’s post. Now I’m thinking I don’t need to call them…
