You know that feeling when you suddenly remember something important, but it’s already too late?
Today’s lesson: always double-check your bike mounts and straps before heading down the road.
This Trek Emonda decided it wanted to try flight. Carbon fiber is incredibly strong in the ways it’s designed to be strong. Bouncing down Alabama asphalt at highway speeds is not one of them. Thankfully, nobody was injured. The bike, however, has entered the great group ride in the sky.
Before your next adventure, give every rack, clamp, and strap one last tug. It only takes a few seconds—and might save you a very expensive story.
