I was attempting to cross this highway east to west. I was first in line at the light (on this bike).




The light turns green and I stand on the pedals to start across and the BB axle snaps. I go over the bars and somehow end up landing on the front wheel.






What was left of the axle punctured my knee.



I sustained a few other abrasions, cuts and bruises and the bike is ok with exception of the BB. I had a huge audience of lots of rush hour traffic sitting at the lights waiting for their turn. Good times had by all.
