It happens. Keep the bars.
I would recommend riding quite slowly on dry pavement free of debris and practice turning with the aero bars. If the road is clear, try zigzagging back and forth with keeping control. Learn how your bike reacts with more weight over the fork. Try some evasive maneuvers, pick a spot on the road/parking lot (usually much safer) and try to imagine an obstacle (tree, limb, hole, glass, down rider) is in the road and you need to avoid it.

It's happened to me.
I'm just glad most of my major wrecks happened when I was younger, dumber, and more able to heal faster. I've had some major wrecks doing framestands on my BMX, blasting down fireroads on my MTB, and major road rash skateboarding. It's by learning your limits that you excel. It's by pushing your limits that you succeed.

Take care. Heal well. And if your legs aren't too bad, get out and ride to keep your flexibility.

Just curious if you were wearing a helmet? I crashed hard last season, and went down backwards with my head slamming to the pavement, and I think the helmet saved my life.

I don't ask this to judge, but I'm curious ... if you did have a helmet on and still wrecked your glasses, black eye, etc. I have always wondered how well helmets protect your face. Instructions say to keep the helmet forward on your head so that your face doesn't hit the pavement, but it still seems like if you go down face first the helmet won't be much help.

I plowed into a truck once (guy made an unexpected/illegal left turn in front of me!).

My helmet cracked, so I know it absorbed impact, but so did my face... had a pretty wicked black eye, and my tooth punched through my lip.

Unless you want to go with the mountain bike helmets with the jaw guard, your face is mostly on its own...

jono

Glad to hear that you are OK.

As others have said, give yourself some time to get used to the aerobars. It will get more comfortable and easy.

Also don't forget that when you have the bars on your bike, you don't have to actually ride in them all the time. This incident doesn't sound like it was due to riding in the aeros at an inappropriate time, but part of learning to use them is knowing when you're putting yourself in harms way by staying in them. Some turns, descents, or evasive maneuvers will best be managed with your hands on the bars where you can steer and manipulate the bike more predictably.

So sorry about your crash. It ALWAYS sucks to hit the deck. Heal well and get back out there when you feel ready.

Sorry to hear about your crash ... sounds bloody, and not fun. I like J.Michael's comments about trying out your bars in ways to simulate evasive maneuvers - something I should do more of, since I don't do too much of that in my aero position. Also, the point ht001 makes about knowing when to be in the bars, and when not, is a good one too. And, to add my own thoughts, I ride a lot through town on the aerobars, but am constantly switching back and forth ... lately I've tried to stay more off of them in most traffic or technical situations. But, on turns I try to stay in them, even on fast turns, just to get used to the feeling, scary as it is.

Regarding the crash, it was probably just a fluke. I went down this past February on a bike I'd ridden thousands of miles (no new handlebars) on a route I'd done more than a hundred times and broke my collar bone. I don't have any reasonable explanation as to why it happened, other than I was riding a little fast and turning a little steep. You're lucky you didn't hurt yourself more.

Have a healthy recovery and speedy return to the roads.

+1 falling usually happens when you get aero bars, clipless pedals or when you least expect it close to home.

yeah, it's probably not the bars. But perhaps God is punishing you? (he he he - that's a joke ya'll). Glad he didn't finish the job - get well soon!
