god damn, seriously? what intersection?
i think you should have done the only reasonable thing and cut out of work, and laid the smack down on the donut, FIXED.
wait, were you in a car?
this past week sunday was pretty intense, but not cuz of the weather.... measly 9 degrees in the morning
however:
some hotshot decides to cut thru the esso station at steeles and yonge, and clips the front wheel of another rider as he veers right. Poor carbon cervelo endo's and the rider goes over the bars at about 15km/h.. at least it was slow, and the rider continued.
at hwy 7 right inbetween bathurst and the langstaff exit, the pack speeds off from the lights. I have trouble clipping in from these booties that have a band at the very front of the shimano SPDSL cleat..
So im a good 15 meters from the pack and im half pedalling and half clipping in my left foot when I just see one rider
elevate over the rest of them and the pack just SPLIT, ppl slammed on their brakes, and noises of ppl saying "woah" and/or "sh~t" around them. Unfortunately, the mess was right in the center of things. dude cuts off lady and caught some flack from another rider he knows. Lady was TOAST, wrist/arm/hip/knee were scraped up. The bike basically cartwheeled with the rider clipped in.
I stopped to help out, asked if they wanted me to call an ambulance and carried her TIME carbon bike with now a twisted handlebars + busted cyclo computer off to the side of the road, just west of the shell station.
They said they were alright and told us to just go on. There were about 4 of us trying to assess if we could help without adding any more to the situation..
We continued, but....... I hope this isn't what is waiting for the summer..
