Closest I came to that was having half the spokes ripped out of my front wheel by someones skewer while doing about 50km/hr and wrestling with my bike to stay upright in a pack of 60 which was terrifying enough!!!!!! Timmy, nothing but respect and admiration for your ability to get back on the horse Can’t imagine what falling in the peloton must be like – heart stopping, waiting for a pedal blow to the head or someone to ride over or into you.

Nothing sucks more than crashing, then have guys slam into you. For step number 6, I’d like to add in the “Don’t hit me, Don’t hit me, Don’t hit me” thought.
