I hope you didn't pass out at the end there.....
Glad you're more or less okay. I have matching "broken" collar bones from bike crashes.

Given that I am trying to avoid a crash of my own, I'm thinking of getting a new bike that can handle rougher terrain/slicker roads than what my road bike can take. The three bikes I have looked at are:
Giant Roam RX2 ($899):

Ghost Cross 1300 (Mountain Equipment Co-op - $550):

MEC Desire ($750):

I am leaning towards the RX2 since the disc brakes would help on wet roads.
