I crashed on the way home.

It was my own damn fault. I had my right hand off the bars to blow my nose and I ran over a concrete block (in the middle of the bike lane for some reason) because obviously I wasn't paying attention. I went down on my right side. It was early and I had plenty of layers on, so there's not much skin damage. My arm feels like it took the brunt of the fall. I'm hoping I won't have to go to the doctor later.

A lady stopped to see if I was OK, which I thought was super nice. She was insisting on driving my home, but I was more focused on being pissed off about crashing. I went back, grabbed the concrete block, and threw it in the grass as far as I could. She noticed that my front tire was flat, which made her want to drive me home more. I think I had to tell her no at least 4 times.

The bike is fine.

Here's the Strava link. Looks like I was only going about 15mph at the time.
