The hallmark of a true cyclist! :lol:

That body slam to the pavement is something else, huh? I felt that when my front wheel was hooked by someone drifting to the left when I had foolishly overlapped him. We were on a ride together, and overlapped when he slowed and I thought he would just be speeding back up again - didn't realize he'd be turning. Anyway, I had a couple of seconds of "Ohhhh shiiii..." and then Wham! onto my right shoulder and hip. Couldn't move my arm for quite awhile, but nothing was broken. Rode home one-handed in one gear. Losing the front wheel pretty much guarantees you are going down hard.

I know you are hurting really bad right now, but am glad you came through okay, and with your motivation intact.

Yep.

The first thing you think of... Is the bike OK ?
