Today was a holiday so I headed out at 8 am to go for a quick ride. Anyone who is a biker and lives in S.F. knows that really the only option for a ride is to go over the Golden Gate bridge, of course, there is a big city and nasty roads between my place and the bridge. Getting to the bridge is, to say the least, a huge pain in the ass, with long lights, road-that-might-as-well-be-freeways, and bike paths. Today, I was going down a bike path to avoid the rush hour, when I came up on a group of joggers. I slowed down and suddenly, some crazy lady just popped out behind them right into my lane and BAM! hits me dead on. Front wheel is taco'd and the front fork is bent to hell.
After cracking my superlight last week, I am down to ZERO ridable bikes. Miserable.
