The Cost of Crumbling Infrastructure? $43 + 1 Day Off Work

I ran headlong into the problem of crumbling infrastructure on Friday. Cycling in to work early I hit a lump of concrete in the bike lane and my cycling calm was abruptly ended.

The cost of the spill? A taxi ride home ($40), a day recovering from a concussion, and a transit ride back ($3) on Monday to get my bike. Not monetized in this calculation is the cost of the bruises and scrapes.
