Torn tendon likely: While pain like yours can often come with a racked or broken rib, your description sounds like you injured or tore a tendon that connects an intercostal muscle to a rib. If it is severe, see your physician in the next day. In general, you will have to take a pain medicine and stay off of the bicycle until it subsides.
