Tape is gone, new chip on the fork, gouge on the brake lever and scrape on the brake hood, rode home after a road side front wheel truing. No other perceptible damage. I have a fat cut above my eye, broken sunglasses, and took the handlebars fully to my left ribs. No real dep bruising yet, but they don't feel right on deep breaths. Worst part is he was wearing a cycling cap without a helmet. Gross.
