    Default Different Sort of "Paceline" Fail

    Not Colnagos and Pinarellos but Ferraris. Somehow familiar nonetheless. Everyone is cruising, someone looks at a squirrel, touches a wheel, zip, pop, pow, bang.

    Like a paceline at the Sunday Worlds where everyone is riding at the very edge of their abilities when all of a sudden "oh shit". SteveP is right though no ones hurt so it's really sorta funny.

    It's not really misfortune when a whole bunch of Ferraris and Lambos all are involved in a single accident, is it?

    It's sort of like when a rich dude goes and buys an airplane and pretends to be an airline pilot (not funny pretty much ever).

    This is a case of a bunch of rich folks thinking they can drive like Michael Schumacher (they can't) and paying the price for it.

    Good thing nobody was hurt.

    Yeah, it is actually pretty funny.

    Of course it's misfortune when people have an accident. Are you saying that because they can afford the good stuff they deserve it? How do you know they were aping Schumacher? How is it different to people on here riding about in packs, observing various forms of "etiquette", trying not to "be that guy" thinking they're in the Tour? Does that mean we all deserve to fall off and destroy our bicycles because they are far more expensive than the vast majority of peoples? Owning a Ferrari is nothing like pretending to be an Airline pilot. Those lads or lasses are just enthusiasts of a different nature.

    No, it's not funny at all.
