More positives though - bike is OK aside from a broken seatpost and I stayed upright (well, skidded along the road on my shoes...) so no other skin lost, luckily!
Man, puncture wounds are vile. Heaven knows what bugs it injected into your interior. I hope you go get a shot of antibiotics, and your tetanus is up to date.
Also, a pox on anyone who flings his door open into traffic.
