Those who can, do.

Wow! What a picture! Glad you're okay and didn't get badly injured. Way to get back on the bike and keep going. great lesson on carbon.

Oh, yeah! Nice capture, Zen!

It's recommended that carbon bars are replaced every so often (24 months?), but replaced after less drama would've been good!

Glad you're more or less okay.

SheFly - did the break happen when you hit the hole and then you fell to the ground due to the bars breaking? Or did the bars break after the bike hit the ground? I think it's the first... but just wanted to be sure. If it's the first, that's really bad. So good to hear you're ok!

I'm pretty sure the bars broke as a result of hitting the hole. I heard the snap as I was headed toward the ground....
