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

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.

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.

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.

It’s not the route, it’s doing it the morning after a Moderna shot. I was overly optimistic this a.m. and pretty sick right now.
Don’t plan on riding Sunday, @datlas.

Not if the family got a good shyster.
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’m always curious how bam crashes so much
