Thanks for the input, guys. I need to go get some new bike gloves tomorrow (the current pair was torn up in the crash), so I may have them look over it quickly when I'm getting those.

John: Thanks for the breaking advice. I definitely need to practice with it. I was so used to my old crappy bike (which did not stop quickly) that when I tried to stop things locked up a lot quicker than they used to. I'm going to get back in the saddle tomorrow and bike to work again, injuries be damned. I was a lot more cautious with my breaking on the way home. I'll definitely do the parking lot thing tomorrow night sometime.

Thanks for all the advice!
