My arm doesn't hurt, as of this moment. I'm mostly just shaken. I really should have known better. When I passed the El stop at Fullerton I thought "the rain is making my brakes wet, maybe I should throw my bike on the El and go home that way." But I was stubborn. <BR/><BR/>And hey, K-Rock, if you think about it, we've essentially both taken one for the team. We both wiped out during comedy excursions.
