Bikes can be replaced... you on the other hand are not replaceable. Thank goodness you are ok. Make sure their insurance company gives you another Madone just like that beauty!

I'm so glad you're o.k. and the bike was the only casualty! But holy cow, I'd be so pissed about that! The insurance company had better pay for the full replacement value!

Echoing the others: glad you're okay, really sorry about your bike.
I bet she looks more carefully next time!

How did you escape injury if the bike hit hard enough to snap in 4 places? Someone was looking out for you. I bet that young driver learned a lesson she'll carry with her forever.

Carbon fiber. It absorbed the impact by breaking spectacularly. Goooooood bike! Extra love in that bike's direction!

MBC - that just sucks.
Glad you'll heal. One small itsy bitsy bright spot.. Since your bike was new, the insurance company can't say much about depreciation.
So you're callling your LBS to order a new one tomorrow, right?
