so i've got that going for me............ which is nice.



seriously though, i'm glad that the OP is a-ok. after having recently walked away from a collision with a bus, i can honestly say that any accident you walk away from is a good one. i've had my chain come off the big cog in back and lock up the rear wheel once before, but it was at the start of an incline and i was in the process of downshifting, so the bike just came to an immediate and abrupt stop while i wisely unlocked my foot from the pedal to set it upon the ground to stop from falling over with the bike. i imagine that's it's a far scarier experience on the downhill side at speed.
