Not much to do but see if I could put the bag back on the outside and ride on being pitch black. Got to office to find my LCD display on my laptop is toast. Blackberry salvageable. Panier is very good condition! Nothing like old quality stuff made here in the USA! But the wheel, way out of true, rack bent to an ugly shape. SHOOT!
Bummer. Read your post and gotta say you've got a pretty good attitude all things considered. Reward your positive spirit with a new rack.
