That cursory glance you gave it earlier might have missed something. Don't be afraid to look at the welds, haha.
I know exactly what you mean. Those first few minutes of riding felt quite strange to me, like the likelihood of me crashing again just went up tenfold or something, which is completely absurd, but that's what trauma does.
The rest of the ride to work was a good 3 km/h slower than I normally ride. Understandable.
