I was thinking the same thing. Falling from a bike resulting in several cuts and bruises and a broken shifter is not my idea of lucky. Sure it could have been worse, but it also could have never happened.
Well, I'm friends with the owner of the bike shop, and she said that considering the gash on my left shoulder its amazing I didn't injure it or my collarbone. They also had first aid supplies and stuff like that in the bathroom, which was nice. But yeah, Overall I'd rule it a better fall. No road rash.
Oh yeah, forgot to add I absolutely smashed my bike computer, but I already have another one of the same model, so that's not an issue (got two of the same xmas present).
