I am sure his insurance agent was not surprised because he keeps him pretty busy with claims, just not usually so many at one time.

rotfl!!! :D:D what's his license plate number and state, so we can all avoid him? :D:D:D:D:p

I like the idea of the cones, and I ordered a sign to hang down from vistaprint that says "got bike?" and "STOP". Unfortunately I can't put the garage door opener in the car - it is integrated into my car!!! Although I could "unprogram it" I suppose.....surely worth the expense of a bike.....especically mine!!

Shefly - I was sick too when I saw the bike on the driveway and found the fork on the roof rack - especially since I knew my husband was racing in one week!!! Luckily we are the same size - but he has Shimano and I have SRAM and he thinks my bike is "twitchy" - his word....

bike on the roof rack and garage.

For what its worth, you are not the first nor will you be the last.

The lucky dude I know shattered his Calfi I think it was, when he drove his car into a parking structure with his beloved bike on the roof rack. That was one of several bike he totalled over the 15 years I've known him. Nice guy but ...

Oh at a picnic or or other gathering with food and drinks, stay away from him cause he WILL spill his drink. I can't count the ways he has spilled his soft drink.

I'd say, "That's why I have a hitch rack", BUT a few weeks ago I backed up while the garage door was opening and "stabbed" the door. The car won and the bike wasn't on the rack. But I also closed the door on my husband's tail gate so I don't think there's a roof rack in my future.

You are safe. He lives in Georgia.

We don't have a roof rack, but a trunk rack. One time we came home from a race and I didn't pull the car far enough into the garage. I hit the garage button and the door came down and was squishing DH's aerobars, smooshing his bike. He yelled at me, so I hit the "up" button, but hit it too frantically and then it went up and back down. :eek:
Didn't do any damage, but he was M*A*D!

He was so mad at me... we are NOT newlyweds, so there was no sweetness there... took him half a day to speak to me again. ;) C'est la vie!

And you guys might remember the fork drama when I stuck my almost new (to me) Colnago C40 on my roof rack, stopped to answer my phone, then drove off, only having partially tightened the fork down. It tipped over up there, breaking the dropout. An expensive, dumb roof rack lesson!
