Day started off great - had a casual ride of about 20 miles along the river. Then, as we were heading back to the shop to drop off the bikes, and my wife crashed while almost stopped. I didn't see it, and some guy chased me down to tell me. Fell onto her left elbow, and may have some sort of fracture. 😪
But, I found out how to properly use bottle cages so the day was not a total loss.

Me too, thanks. Most of all I don't want her to become afraid of her bike.
She said she was doing a slow u-turn in loose gravel, didn't have enough forward movement and lost balance. When she put her foot down, it slid out from under her, and down she went.

Wonder if VV is watching the game. Tenn is down by 20 to the 12 seed.

Ultimately, she'll be okay. She's laughing about it, so that's good. Best of all, she said it won't sour her on biking, and she recognizes it was just a fluke.

Tenn is out. VV is likely in a foul mood. First time Oregon State won a tournament game in 39 years.

So, having ordered a crapload of tools this morning, I had some spare time this afternoon, so I dropped by REI to try and find enough degreaser to clean all the components, and damned if they didn't have every single thing I ordered. I coulda been taking off pedals and cranks and bottom brackets by now!
