Craig, sorry to hear of your crash. That's one reason I don't like riding in crowds (something I haven't done much). I don't trust myself, let alone everyone else to do the right thing all the time.
Bkg, good to hear you got out!
Bike content: I didn't ride. We had to play a show. But during the first set I spotted a woman ride up on a vintage Raleigh Gran Sport. I spoke to her during he break, she said it was a '75. It still had the original Stronglight crank and randonneur handlebar but newer derailleurs. They made the GS in two colors, white/Lagoon Blue and the opposite scheme, Lagoon Blue/white. White was more common. Hers was the white variety, mine is blue.
