how the herd is thinned in the 21st century.

when I read that the hull was carbon fiber was when I figured the most likely outcome was they had been crushed. obviously my opinion was just a guess, but: I’m on bike forums a lot. carbon fiber has an unshakable negative history even though today it is much more robust than the early days when they hadn’t worked out the bugs yet for bikes. but the hard truth is that, while all bike materials fail, the others seldom fail catastrophically. the metals may crush or bend but there’s still something there. when carbon fiber breaks, the part supporting you just instantly vanishes. there’s no struggling with the steering to get to the roadside, you hear a loud crack and you eat asphalt.
