Bruise on my hip, knee, inner thigh (where the bike must have hit me as I went down), road rash on my forearm, big oily mark on the shoulder of my gilet. My head hit the deck as well, but protected by helmet. Bike is OK I think, as being fixie not may things sticking out to break off. Will check later. Happened 10 yards from work gatehouse. Colleagues helpfully stopped in road instead of running me over.
Might I add: GODDAMNMUTHERFACKERCONTSHETPISSBALLSARRSE.
Supplementary: thanks to all who expressed concern. Bike looks mostly OK, and I am mostly mobile. No-one hit me BTW, and it happened on a stretch of private road going into work so much less travelled and therefore colder and icy. Anticipating slow and careful ride home nonetheless.
