Oh c'mon, Alex. That's not really an accident. That's a mishap.
What I'm interested in seeing is how many of you were sucked in by the 60-degree weather on the east coast yesterday and took their bikes out for the first time this year, resulting in a real accident. I couldn't believe how many bikes I saw or heard on the road yesterday (today we have a coating of snow again and the temps are in the 30s). This is probably the most dangerous time of the year to ride up this way with all the sand and salt residue on the streets. Until the DPW cleans up all the sand and storm debris it's going to be dicey going out there. Anybody that succumbs to a freak warm day had better be on the lookout for sand and gravel, especialy in turns or at intersections since that's where it ends up building up. After going down on gravel last summer, I have no desire to test my luck until the snow is long gone and the streets are cleaner.
