1st cycling injury :(

This morning, I woke up at 6 to do my usual morning run/ride. It was a bit wet from the drizzle but didn't seem to pose too much of a problem. Rode out 3 miles and as the front tire went across one of the usual metal covers i typically have no problem crossing, the front started to wobble. Right then and there, I knew it was going to be a bad day. Bike slipped out from under me and i went down. Went to the ER and sure enough - broken 4th and 5th metacarpal bones in my left hand. not to mention the messed up shoes and bibs.... 4-5 weeks healing, ugh I've only started riding for 6 weeks...

Now all I can think about is whether my bike is ok or whether i should get a KK Road machine and some aero bars so that i can keep riding. Poor CAAD 9-4, i want to ride you so much...
