that hamburger...

had nothing on the car that destroyed my rear wheel today.

:(

I wish I had taken a picture.

On the upside: I am getting a custom-built wheel for only a little more than it would have cost me to replace the original with the cheapest, crappiest one. I get to keep my hub nad it'll be travel-ready again. I'd like to look into taking a little bike trip upstate this summer.

Upside #2: I must have looked like I walked away from a gnarly crash of some kind, traipsing down 3rd avenue, carrying my warped bicycle on my back.

At least the frame is fully in tact!
