At the first rest stop at Bike Virginia yesterday - all of a sudden there was a big snapping sound, collective gasps of dismay and shock, screams to stop - the SAG wagon had ran over a custom steel bicycle lying on the grass...
So the SAG wagon driver responds by putting the van into reverse and backing over said custom steel again - with more screams to stop and just absolutely horrifed faces.
As opposed to at lunch the day before yesterday, when they made an announcement and asked everyone to move their bikes off the field so a helicopter could land to carry off a guy that had had a heart attack... Concerned looks, but nowhere near the just complete "OH MY GOD, SOMEONE RAN OVER A CUSTOM STEEL BICYCLE"

Oh, I shouldn't be laughing, but I am
That is really pretty funny. Nicely put.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

Poor bastard. The bike owner, that is. Oh, and the heart attack victim too, I guess.
Gotta say though, if I had a custom-made bike, no way it'd be just lying in the grass, unattended.
Still, poor bastard.

My thought too. I'd never leave my custom steel Luna lying in the grass where anyone could trip over it, step on it, or drive over it. No way.

I won't even do that with my relatively low-end, mass-produced aluminum ride... Originally Posted by BleeckerSt_Girl
