Ryan - glad to hear you came out a-ok. As one of the "chosen" I can certainly relate. Hopefully the Fuji came out okay - wheels are easy to replace. Make sure you check the rake on that fork and for bends at the steerer tube. That's how Gretchen got replaced by the new shiny _________(insert name here - still no name yet).
Rusholme - cars don't see you in wnter period. I take the lane when I need to be seen, got one large blinkie under the seat, another on my bag and am thinking about putting my other rear blinkie on the rear too. I run a front light, a small LED blinkie but am considering yet another. I take it much slower in the winter and always, always believe that no car sees me at all. Only way to stay as safe as can be.
