It was clean chain day today. I also pumped up my tires. I was literally flying this morning despite the blustery headwind. At one point in my commute I moved off the road to let a police car by. I saw a collection of flashing lights up ahead. Emergency vehicles of every description, fire, ambulance and police. The vehicular traffic had to slow to a crawl as 2 lanes squeezed into one and was further slowed by the inevitable rubber necking. I gleefully blew past the almost frozen traffic. As I passed the accident scene I stole a glance. The only thing I saw was the frame of a mountain bike, twisted like a gruesome pretzel. I think I'm going to be sick.
