Aside from the wheels, there are only bike parts left. The frame is toast. Steel is definitely where it's at! Rider's OK, but he did require a chopper flight to Stanford hospital.

I think Yehuda would vote for Barack! ---Barack Obama met privately with members of the Bikes Belong board of directors in Chicago last week and said that if elected president he would support increased funding for bike paths, Safe Routes to School and other cycling-related issues in the 2009 transportation bill. (Bikes Belong, financed by the cycling industry, has the goal of "putting more people on bikes more often.") About 160 people attended the reception, some to contribute to Obama's campaign at a cost of $2,300 per person. The Democrat senator's total take was estimated at $175,000 for his 20-minute appearance. Greg LeMond and his wife Kathy were there, as was SRAM president Stan Day, who said the private industry session was "about anchoring our National Bike Summit agenda in the mind of one of two viable presidential candidates, and creating the possibility that cycling infrastructure becomes a topic for debate in the current election cycle." No plans were announced for a similar meeting with Republican presidential candidate John McCain.
