        Carbon fiber bikes are really strong;  but dont you think that its structure is now weak?Trek should include this in their history books!

We saw an accident involving a car and a bike at Binangonan yesterday just before 7 am (near the Pajara heavy equipment depot) and it was sort of freak;  the car front was ripped off and was over the bike a very expensive latest Trek Domane (the one used by Cancellara)  The bike was still standing tall after being run over by the car.  (See photo)  Trek should be proud of the result of this accident

The bike owner was inconsolable;  he said the bike cost him P300,000 and he wants the whole bike replaced.  The car driver owner was not speaking.

And I told the crowd, maybe the vehicle drivers - jeepney, tricycles, truck think that we ride cheap stuff.  They would be surprised how expensive they could be.  It is a fair warning to drivers and can owners who think bikers are lowlife.

      See how the bike ripped off the fender and the bumper (Hahaha the car bumped the bike -  you!!)

                      The Tarmac bike saying hello to the injured Domain;  that is Armin with Tarmac

                              Other bikers sympathizing, or simply UZI - Richard and Armin

                               Richard's jersey colors and that of Domane are the same

                                Armin and Richard feared that they smiled for this shot;  they did! (no empathy for the Trek Domane and its owner...)

                  The accident created a huge traffic mess; many are wondering how come the bike was still standing tall?!  It looked as if the bike ripped the front of the car....
