He fell down at the light after he unclipped. SMH.

We'll have to hear his side of the story.
Was the Brown Squirrel glorious?

Theory: Physical/mental exhaustion from riding with Velo Vol was taking its toll on him.

The important question is; is the bike ok?

we better not ride at our next meet up assuming I ever ride again. It would prolly kill me given my medical condition.

Sorry to inform you of this but you prolly lost 10 IQ points from being in Knox County that long.

You could've Cinzano'd him at any time.

Knowing that he was a flat lander with unknown (to me) bike handling skills, I was unsure about taking him up on a proper ridge. But I decided YOLO, let's give him a real East TN cycling experience. So, he flew down windy descent, no problem. Then, standing in traffic at the light, he fell down. SMH.

Oooh. Three laps around the Travelers building.

Sounds like BAM needs to get his karma in order.

Remind me not to take anything that will assplode or crash when I meet up with him in Big D.

bampilot06 10-27-21 07:29 PM

BTW. switching from the madone back to the cervelo made me realize how too small the c2 is. Plus getting adjusted to the steering and weird shimano shifting was pretty intense. For a second I thought I was going to have to go home and switch bikes.

Had to hit the office park as part of the full Velo Vol cycling experience tour, obviously. I told him of my legendary Addiction time trial ride back in the day.

I'm listening to a podcast on the US/Canadian border.

Fun Fact: If we had followed through with the "Fifty-four Forty or Fight!" slogan that President Polk campaigned on, Vancouver would actually be in the U.S. Imagine that.

My Langster has 39s. My other drop-bar bikes have 42s. Well, kind of. They're FSAs which have a small flair, so they're 42 at the bar end and 40 at the hoods.

Don’t plan on riding Sunday, @datlas.

That’s a bummer. Feel better

I always used 42s. Then the R3 came with 38s because it was intended for a woman. I never noticed and now I love them, especially in the drops. I wish I had had them for crowded turns when I was racing. The breathing issue is nonsense.

I don’t know how wide my bars are

Often the "resolution" is to simply take the driver's insurance proceeds and call it a day since the driver likely doesn't have the resources to pay a judgment or larger settlement.

As for criminal liability, the prosecutor would have to show intent or some grossly negligent (drunk, for example) conduct in order to have a case. That can be hard to achieve.

I have a million bucks in UM/SUM coverage on my auto policy so I can collect if some ******* seriously injures me. Most drivers have the basic 50K BI minimums here in NY

I’m always curious how bam crashes so much
