Good thing you're safe. I had close encounters with cars doing rolling stops as well and they dont seem to sync with cyclists.
I would report to ICBC just to be safe and see if you're eligible for physio and medical expenses. Having a record at ICBC will cover you in case your shoulder need more attention in the future.
Hope you got receipts for your bike and new wheels it would help get some money back.
Good luck and keep us posted

My right shoulder took most of the impact. The driver remained on the scene and took responsibility. The cops gave him a $17X ticket for running the stop sign. I assume ICBC will cover my medical expenses, but what about my bike? I just bought some new wheels and I think my front wheel is slightly bent, as it doesn't spin freely anymore. The rest of the bike seems ok, though I'm not in any condition to ride and test it out.
The driver is offering to pay and seems like a nice guy, but I guess I would be better off going to ICBC? The cop kept saying I didn't need to involve ICBC because it wasn't an accident with cars and said I didn't to take the driver's insurance info. I did anyways.
thanks,
