We need to take up a collection to buy Dave a flat-repair kit.

Out of respect for Dave Matthews I'm going to hope that it was something more than a simple flat tire that stranded him on the side of the road.

I'm impressed he didn't have a chase crew with four spare bikes and 12 wheel sets behind him.
Funny that the person who stopped also had a bike rack on the car too. Good timing.

You can see the S-works logo on one of the pics. I'm just a little concerned that the story focuses on Dave Matthews and the fan and not the bike . . .

How a link displays on the page is independent of where it goes when clicked on.
When I initially tried it, it tried to take me to a bogus URL which was missing the domain name.
So I manually entered the short URL as displayed in order to go to the page.
Now, it is working. Go figure.

Backstory is that one of Matthews' road crew had secretly "upgraded" his bike with a set of Chinese carbon wheels that he had read about on BF during his downtime during one of the band's rehearsals. The wheels arrived ahead of the band in PA, where they had been hastily swapped prior to Dave's ride on that Saturday.
Unfortunately, the roadie never saw the small cracks that had formed in the rear rim...

Actually I like the DMB, but this is a great line.
Always keep a bike rack on your car. Never know when you will need it.
