Just some bike damage (Uh oh, it clicks) - destroyed the brand new seat on its first ride, bar tape, shift levers scratched. I scraped the car I hit but was too freaked out to do anything about it.

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.
