Glad to hear you didn't damage anything that won't heal - it would have
been dreadful to have torn your clothes ;-)
I failed to hit my head this morning, too. My ride along the snowy
cyclepath was completely uneventful, apart from spinning the back wheel
while crossing the railway at Bitton. After leaving the path, though, I
was riding down a country lane that had had just enough motor traffic
along it to compact the snow into ice.
My AirZound (which took the full force of the impact) is probably beyond
repair :-(
