For sure, that day had a major impact on me in terms of my outlook on group riding, along with a few other group rides where group behavior endangered everyone. For those reasons I usually ride alone these days as well, if not, with a much smaller group of trusted riders.

Still, I'd hate to be hammering on the gas and have one of these cranks break, even if I'm solo....
