Holy cow. You hit a deer? Where at? You OK?

Or is this an example of plowing your bike into the garage? Which gives me an idea. We should make a little device that attaches to a roof rack, knows when a bike is attached, and warns the driver when they are about to crumple a bike.

I don't have any ideas for preventing deer-to-bike collisions.

Yikes! You okay??

What failed? A bond, or the frame material (adhesive or cohesive failure)? Aluminum or carbon?

"Is my bike okay?" "No, you bent the handlebars." "Oh, man!!! ...... Is my bike okay?"

Well, I felt sick when I heard...and then I wondered if it was a buck or not and what wattage you were cranking when it happened. You need a sonic deer whistly on your next road bike!

I rode down the hill where you crashed on Saturday morning. Just before the tunnel under the bridge I was clocking 35 mph.

A little farther on the same ride I saw a dead deer by the side of the frontage road near the quarries. Maybe someone got revenge on your deer. I felt sorry for it though.

It was not a buck. Someone at work offered to buy me a deer whistler for Christmas. Right now I'd rather have a 30-06.
