Last year I cracked my Bianchi SL aluminum frame, bent my year wheel beyond repair, busted my Pneumo helmet, tore through my leg warmers, arm warmers, socks (almost my SIDI’s), jersey, bibs, gloves, and Hincape polartex jacket.
800+100+150+50+40+8+70+160+30+215 = 1623 No hospital bill, but spent $30 on gauze and antibiotic ointment.
I’m sure ya’ll can do better than this. I’m curious… what the most you’ve lost on a single incidence?
(In the same crash, the rider next to me tore off the non-replaceable dropout of his Bianchi MegaTi frame - which retails for 2200)
I T-Boned anther rider that crashed right in front of me during a Cat 4 race. Endo’d over the bars and slid across the pavement a few feet onto grass which was strewn with sand burs.
Ritchey front wheel - $100, Bar Tape - $10, and nice dent in top tube. (no biggie)
Fractured Scaphoid - About $100 in copays. Gore Waterproof Cast Liner - About 75$
Removing several dozen sand burs from my legs, arms and torso - absolute agony, can’t put a price on it
I was in a cast for 8 weeks during July and August which royally sucked. The Gore waterproof cast liner was my saving grace because it allowed me to continue working out and swim, go to the beach, etc. The guy that caused the crash was on my team and never even apologized or accepted responsibility for the crash. (Needless to say he is no longer a friend of mine)
