The bike went one way, and I was launched the other way. The post was probably cracked then. The area circled in red is the cracked area that turned darker through the years as the metal anodized. The metal to the left that is whiter is the the part that finally failed on this trip. I\u2019m very lucky the failure didn\u2019t happen on the way down from Legget Mt when I was going 25-30 miles per hour.
