I was very lucky there was no cars behind me, and right away some kind strangers gently carried me a few feet over to the sidewalk. Definitely, down town fremont area probably the worst place to ride. I've never ridden anywhere near there hell I won't even take my car there. The strip is covered with cops uniformed and plain clothed undercover who can't wait to pull people over, unfortunately that doesn't stop the taxis from driving crazy. They're usually my main concern. I'm not sure what I plan to do yet, I'm thinking about keeping the bike because the damage is only cosmetic and just riding on weekends in off traffic hours and more rural areas. Basically just using in for pleasure and not to commute or as my main transportation. And I'll definitely be investing in racing boots and a good quality jacket.

I had my bike close to 2 months before I felt like I had a good chance of being OK in an emergency stop before I started commuting.
