Crashes are pandemic to the cycling world. It is a naive rider who thinks that the likelihood is greater in a race than in a club training ride. They happen everywhere.
I race the fast bike with abandon. It's an earthly possession, folks.
Amen! One of the worse crashes I have seen took place on a club ride a couple of months ago. Some ahole ran a stop sign and took out two of our riders who were doing about 33 mph. One is still not back on the bike. Oh, and yes, one bike was totaled, and the other is still in the shop awaiting parts.
