A little bit of road rash and some bruises but nothing serious. Thankfully I "fell correct" and didn't stick my hand out to break my fall, so no broken collarbone.

Bike suffered some ripped bar tape, a scuff on my seat and pedal and a bent derailleur hangar. Checked the frame and can't see any damage, so at least that's a bright side. I got back on the horse and rode the rest of the way to work but it's not shifting right. Will order the parts to fix it today and milk it home. Thankfully I have a few other bikes I can ride until I get this one repaired.

Not one of my better commutes.
