    Oh no! My brand new Ruby :(

    My husband offered to drive me to work so he could have the car and I could ride home. Sounds good, right? Beautiful spring weather. Sure.

    He put my bike on the bike rack but... apparently didn't check to make sure that the rack was locked in place.

    A mile or so down the road there was a horrible "thunk" and he pulled over. The lower part of the rack, which angles down to let us open the hatchback had not been locked and bike had stayed on the rack but hit the road when the rack fell. At a minimum it was clear that the rear wheel had hit and was bent.

    When we got to my work, we checked over the frame and it looks like there is damage to the frame as well.

    I'm trying so hard not to be mad at him because I'm sure I could just as easily have overlooked something like that... but I'm pretty upset right now.
