My bicycle has been my primary form of transportation. I'm aware of the risks of bicycling in a big city, but have been doing well with navigating sometimes hectic and crazy traffic situations. Unfortunately last week my luck ran out and I was hit by a car while trying to make a left turn.
The bicycle absorbed a lot of the impact force (along with my body) and the carbon fiber frame cracked near the bottom of the head tube where the down tube connects. This is a critical area of the frame that absorbs a lot of force and can catastrophically fail, so it's not longer safe to ride on it.
Not having my bicycle not only impairs my ability to do things like shop and go to appointments, it's also my way of connecting with nature.
The loss of my bicycle happens at a bad time while I'm struggling to survive. I bought it off of Craigslist several years ago and have put thousands of miles on it. I see a similar model to mine listed right now for $1100 that would be an ideal replacement - same model and size. If anyone can please help fund the replacement I would be extremely grateful and would be going to a good cause and supporting zero-carbon transportation.
