I kept Miss Trek 3700, aka Blue Streak -- can't bear to discard her. My brother seems to think he might be able to fix her, but I don't hold out much hope. The frame is bent pretty badly, as is the left pedal and the derailer. She is a beauty and I'm not quite ready to put her out to pasture. If my brother can't fix her, I'll keep her for spare parts.

I'm really embarassed to admit this, but I'm the one who ran her over. Don't quite know how I managed to do it, but I did. I was getting ready for a ride and had checked the tires for proper inflation. I took her to the back of my car and parked her. Usually when I'm done checking the tires, I would put her on the rack -- don't know why I didn't do it this time. I took the pump back into the garage and changed into my bike shoes. Without thinking, I jumped in my car and began to back up when I heard the thud and crunch. I immediately stopped and went forward again. Placed the car in park & raced to the back and saw her on the ground. I was sick. I put her on the rack and noticed the chain was off. Took her off the rack and back into the garage to see if I could get the chain back on. After several attempts, I loaded her back on the rack and went to the LBS.

I was shaking and had tears in my eyes. I don't know why I didn't put her on the rack to begin with. It was such a stupid mistake and I am sick over it.

But on the bright side, no one was hurt, except for me being embarassed. I also ended up with another bike which is pretty sweet. I'm really happy with the new bike and sad over the demise of the old one. And trust me, the old one wasn't old - I purchased her in May this year.
