Hi
First thing is when did you fall off the bike?
Did you get tetanus vaccine shots?
Cleaning the area with water betadine and applying soframycin is fine.
But you might need oral antibiotics and anti inflammatory medicines as well.
Would suggest you to visit a doctor once so that you can be better guided.
The wounds will heal but avoid delay in healing process and related complications a doctor can guide whether the steps taken by you are adequate or not.

Hope it helps.
Regarding the choice of antibiotics and will your current stock will suffice or not, that can be suggested only on examining the affected area.
Regards
Dr amit
