It is a universal sadness and one shared by many. Much like the slow and deliberate pain from a tap to the nuts...….this pain is universally shared an understood by all men.
When a upper middle class gentleman in full cycling kit and pushing a new full carbon Italian racing bike with the appropriate Italian bling ( campy) is forced to walk because of damage to "said" bike..
This my friends.....this is a deep long standing type of pain, for some "traumatic pain" this my friends will linger , linger like the wet dirty inside of one's bib after a grueling 100 mile gravel ride.
Peace out.

This is a prime example of why I love old steel bikes. Even if the derailleur did grab the spokes and wrench likely nothing would be beyond repair. Feel for the dude though.
