He was a "wee bit annoyed" the driver did a runner and did not understand why the driver failed to stop.
The crash was unnecessary, despite it being a dangerous intersection, he said.
"Take some time and actually have a look," was his message to motorists.
Adrian McCaughan told the Herald from his hospital bed that he suffered compound fractures to his tibia and fibula in his right leg. Surgeons operated on Sunday night and put an external frame on his lower leg to stabilize it.
Doctors are waiting for the swelling to go down before they operate again to put plates in.
It would be at least another three or four months until he was healed enough to play golf, he said.
McCaughan's sister, Jenny, said the news of her brother's crash "didn't really make my day".
She heard about it shortly after the crash and arrived on the scene before emergency services.
She said the crash could have been a lot worse and her brother told her there was no way the ute driver could not have known about hitting the bike.
It was "shocking" and the driver's failure to stop was an example of irresponsibility, she said.
"Just own up, it's not rocket science — we all make mistakes," was her message for the ute driver.
She said the description of the ute had recently been updated after seeing camera footage from a local business.
Pictures had been passed to police and the family was now seeking information about a black double-cab older model LN106-style Hilux ute with a dog cage on the back, she said.
Dunedin Sergeant Boyd Smart said Mosgiel police were investigating.
