My favorite aerobar paceline video reposted for the umteenth time. Lucky he didn't break his neck.

Mmm mmm. I don't believe I'd want in a paceline with some weary guy leaning on those aerobars.
  • On the hand, don't aero bars come with warnings that say DO NOT USE WITHIN 50 YARDS OF ANOTHER BICYCLE!?!? If not, they should. That's one of my pet peeves on the MUP -- tri-folk bearing down on you at full throttle on a narrow paved path, in full superman position, no way to reach the brakes, no slowing down for pedestrians. Even other roadies have complained about this, which annoys the delicate tri-folk.
  • On the other hand, he came >>>this<<< close to recovering. Good effort. I'm guessing a wayward spoke thwarted his nearly perfect recovery.
  • On the third hand, walking away from that face plant almost deserves some sort of award.
