I had my first bike accident today after over 800 city miles since April. I was nearly home from work and a man opened his car door right as I was there. I went over my handle bars... I was clipped in, so I'm not quite certain how I got separated from the bike. It all happened so fast. I remember sommersaulting. My thigh must have jambed into my handlebars because it's sore and I have a contusion. Thank goodness no cars were coming up behind me.

My bike: the handlebars are bent to one side, my rear derailleur was pushed in and my rear wheel won't spin due to the brakes getting pushed in or something. What's funny is that I had a flat last Friday. I went to see E2theD race cyclocross yesterday, got all charged up to ride my cross bike, fixed the flat and this happens.

What a bummer.
