Arnica gel. Pretty much the best stuff ever for bruises. I'm glad you're okay. Take it easy and feel better!

OWWWW! So sorry this happened! Glad you didn't break any bones, though. And nice that your bike is okay. Small silver lining there!

ouchhhhh glad you're okay... were you clipped in?
Life goes by pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, and do whatever you want all the time, you could miss it.

Yes, I was clipped in...but as soon as I hit the ground, my feet automatically unclipped. Infact, in all of my prior falls (I've had about 3), there was never a time where my feet didn't unclip instantly from the moment the bike started to go down.

Arnica is good for bruises, but not on broken skin. Ouch.
