had a paper route about 40 yrs ago. hung the bag on the handlebars, supported by this weird v shaped aluminum rod to stop the bag from falling on the front tire. anyways, finished my last house, driving back home and decide to remove the bag and the weird v shaped rod while riding the bike. bag came off fine, but when i took off the rod, i dropped it, and it fell behind the forks on the front wheel. what were the odds? immediately before that instant, i was going a brisk pace. in a heartbeat, every spoke on the front wheel was gone, as i augered into the pavement at light speed. wheel was no longer round. still have the scars to this day.
