How scary!!! I was jamming on virtual brakes and leaning and unclipping as I read your post. Glad y'all are OK.
Tis better to wear out than to rust out....

Motorcyclists have a saying to the effect that "any ride that ends with you alive is a good ride; any ride that ends with you alive and your bike still running is a great ride." Days like yesterday remind me that that's true of a bicycle, too.Speed comes from what you put behind you. - Judi Ketteler
