Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Based on a couple recent observations in a nearby market, the shops aren't speedy on fixing the damage.

I believe it's the 54. But I can't find any info on the purchase, just that I made it. But yes I am satisfied with it. It was a might as well buy. So I'm glad it worked out kinda thing. I needed the "special" grease and it's $20.00 a tube. For $30.00 more it came with the new star ratchet. No lag, so 2 thumbs up

Thanks, all. I'm okay, have a small bruise on my shoulder but that's all.

I'm hoping insurance is easy to deal with, the biggest hurdle right now is how my wife is going to get to work since this was our only vehicle.

You may feel worse today, but I hope I am wrong. Glad you are good.

Get a rental, sue for the cost?

Still sick. My HRV is still low, but garmin says it’s no longer unbalanced and is finally in the low range. Maybe that means I am getting better? Yay just in time to go to work so I can get sick again.
