Ow. New helmet time. Riding about 20 mph down Walter Reed Dr. in Arlington, VA, a car blared its horn at me, scared the balls out of me, I hit a wing mirror on a parked car, flipped over just to see it speed off. Three cars passed me while I was on the ground, one running over a water bottle.
Just some bike damage (Uh oh, it clicks) - destroyed the brand new seat on its first ride, bar tape, shift levers scratched.
That was fun.
My helmet did it's job, but it is just scraped not smashed. I'm not sure if I should go to the hospital. I feel fine and rode home anyway.
