Hell no, I got right back in the saddle so to speak!
Infact, I wasn't going to sit around and get fat while I waited on the insurance to write me a check so I went out and ordered a new bike. And the day I brought it home I unloaded it from the car, went to get the mail and guess what... the check was there waiting for me.
What I can say now though is I always commute with my messenger bag even though i really don't need it now that I also have panniers. I feel more protected with it because of what happened. And I have a headlight, tail light, helmet etc. Did before and I do now. But on the weekends when riding my road bike I am perfectly fine, no change in behavior.
