First longish commute, and first fall on new bike

Did a 13 mile commute from my parents house in Virginia to DC this morning, went pretty well besides one near bad spill as I was coming down a rather steep hill, I covered the brake but not quickly enough and hit a big bump at the bottom, it kicked me off the bike a bit and slowed my pedaling drastically and nearly caused me to go down. The fall came when I pulled up to an intersection and my straps were a bit too tight, I balanced it for awhile but then fell right over.

Oh well, all in all it was a nice ride, temp was 71-72, and it was overcast so
