Ouch! How noble of you to shield your bike from further damage by throwing your body in front of those posts.
Hope you're feeling better soon, heal quickly!

Did your helmet hit the wood bollard? Glad you are ok and that your injuries weren't more serious.

Oh, I'm so happy to hear you weren't hurt worse. Take care of yourself.

Hey DrB! Way to lead with your head grrl!
You shall be awarded the medal of honor for protecting the bike. Definitely send the helmet & a note to Giro... could score you a new brain bucket.
I remember those wood posts (lived in Houston for a while) from tripping over them a few times.
Feel better soon!

Thanks for all the well wishes ladies! Pretty sore this morning, and some of these bruises are going to be pretty impressive.
Yup, we are pretty sure that I lead with my head and it went right in to the bollard (wood post)...
When my friends dropped off my car and bike last night they were able to take a better look at the bike... looks like it came out unscathed... still going in for a check up to make sure, but yup, sacraficed myself for the bike
