Bummer, hope you’re ok. I would take all the salvageable parts off the bike and start looking for a new frame set.
That’s very unfortunate. Get a job: deliver newspapers, mow lawns, rake leaves, clean vehicles, walk dogs; the list goes on.
Scour ebay and fb marketplace. You can prolly find a frame for cheap. Sorry that happened, but later you will be able to look back on that incident.
rip in peace 🙁

That’s shitty. The frame was already broken there when you bought it, so it’s really not a surprise. I’m glad to hear you didn’t hurt yourself on it. That’s a wall hanger for sure now!
See if you have a bike co-op in your area. You can likely work off a second hand frame or see if anyone will donate one to you. You’re obv keen, reach out to others in a position to help if you want help. The cycling community can be really supportive.
Meh. Still rideable.
Ask around. People hear that I like fixing bikes and just give them to me. I service them then usually put them on Freegle. Cycle enthusiasts are a pretty generous bunch. Most of us have bikes we’d just like to find a home for – reduce our guilt at not riding them!
peloton means fearless in finnish 🤔
You took a wee cruncher eh. I hope you’re ok and in better shape than your ride?
That blows!
Wall Art now.
That suck, but at least you’re OK I guess. No matter how valuable your bike is, best to have a broken bike than a broken skull.
