Arrrgh this is so frustrating. The weather here is perfect for commuting and I am losing out on it. And soon it will be too dark and too cold to commute by bike.
My wounds have healed but my chest hurts every time I sneeze or lie down to sleep. This makes me believe I may have chest contusions, which take much longer to heal than road rashes

Whatever. I am going to take the bike out for a ride this weekend to test the waters. And if I am not laid out in pain, then next week I resume bike commuting.
