Bike Crash with Another Cyclist

Finishing up a quick ride yesterday ended with a bang. Here's what I posted on Facebook:

I added this comment on that photo...


... along with this image looking back across the bridge.
(I was riding towards this photographer in the bike lane.)

I got home as it was starting to rain, so some rain and blood were mixing down my leg:

Cleaned up a bit later.


I was getting ready to foam roll my sore hip last night, but then I realized it was
painful from the fall. Here's some slight road rash and some odd speckles.

Something was off with my chain/derailleur at first, but it seemed to "snap" back into place. My fat wrap is a little scrapped, and one of my R2C shifters is chipped. But those cosmetic things aren't a big deal as long as there's no "real" damage. I should find out tomorrow.

Be safe out there folks!

UPDATE (9/20, 8:18 a.m.): I downloaded my Garmin data from my ride yesterday. You can pretty clearly see the crash near the end:

It's funny (maybe not the right word) how much slower the rest of the ride was post-crash.


Close-up. Going 25 mph across the bridge, then 0.


Crashing, then going back to talk to the guy.
