Mtb Road
How fast were you going last time you crashed your road/mtb bike?
This time it was 34.1 miles an hour.
There was one time when I was going 49 miles an hour and my whole bike started doing this freaky shaky thing, much more than simple vibration going down a hill. It was pure luck that I avoided crashing! I ended up going into this dirt driveway and over a cattle guard.
This time I was speeding up to avoid traffic and my bike started slipping out from under me due to the wet pavement, then overcorrected and boom boom boom ended up on the sidewalk.
On the 49 miles per hour and the frame shaking like crazy, the very next day my frame broke a chain stay and had to be trashed!
I was going about 25 mph on a straight downhill fireroad. Not sure if I accidentally rode into a rut, or a rock kicked me into it (all happened pretty fast), but back tire slid through a shallow rut and I lost it. I traveled face head first about 20-30 feet across the path. Sore left shoulder, 2 skinned up knees, road rash on my right shin, a large know on my left shin that won't go away and still is a bit sore, 4 stitches above my right elbow, new front shifter/brake lever, new front wheel, trued-up rear wheel (still has a slight wobble), new rear derailleur, and slightly bent fork requiring a JB Weld repair to hold the front wheel in straight.
I was out riding the next weekend against doctor's orders.
