I took the left side [done many times].
What i didn't know was car in front was making a left circle behind the fountain where i couldn't see him.
I had a split second to hit a curb head on with a concrete mounted bench or bang off the car.
I hit the brakes hard at 30 mph but didnt slow much.
*** Fortunately the car broke my fall .....[lol]
First to hit was front wheel, somehow went airbourne and landed [hard] on my left hip facing backward.
Some guy getting off work that saw it gave me a ride home.
Left hood was out of whack, stem needed adjusting, front wheel needs a slight true.
Other than that i seem okay.
Walking tomorrow may not work but beats the E-room.
Carbon bikes can take a licking but i don't want to do that again.
Thats the 4th time in my life. I'm not getting any younger.
Wow--sorry this happened to you. Falling on your hip is spooky; I hope you feel well tomorrow.
