Stage Nine Wreckage

You guys saw the rider/dog collision on the 9th stage of the Tour de France, right? Ok, I've had a few bike collisions before, some of which were pretty significant. None of them resulted in a rim that looks like it came from Savage's higher math courses. Curbs, embankments, asians... you name it, I've hit 'em square-on and have never had a front wheel look like that. This guy hits a golden lab, smack in the ribs, resulting in a front rim that looks like a calamari appetizer.

And the pooch is fine. I don't get it.

I'd heard about the cruash but haven't had a chance to check it out. Once baby boy #2 is sleeping, I'll have some me-time to look but the photos are pretty good.

I've never taco-ed a wheel that badly either.

PS. I like the out-of-the-haze effect in the redesign!
