Riotboi, I can't even quote your last line and stick in the horrified smiley.

If it helps, I didn't get hit, I was going up a curb with a loaded bag when it had just started raining, and as my rear wheel was in the air and the front had just come down, the front slid sideways, then flipped left, flipping me over the right side of the bike directly on the side of my chest. I was most impressed that my feet came out of the clipless pedals - I've been expecting a simple fall to turn into a horrible crash since I started using them 3 or 4 years ago, and I guess it doesn't happen.

A week of easy commuting on the more upright mountain bike plus the usual bike errands (laundry, groceries, etc) and it's way better than it was at the beginning of the week. I'm pretty convinced it's all on the trainer that a little chest stretching and serious breathing has done a world of good - I can breathe almost as deeply as I could a month ago, and without pain, just "tightness". I've specifically avoided my road bike with low bullhorns though.
