We hit a pothole together, I stayed on but he fell off.
I went back to see what I could do but the following car had run right over him.

Sorry for your loss. 0 -
Contact Garmin Europe by phone or email - I got my broken out-of-warranty Garmin Edge 305 replaced with a refurbished unit for £67. Better than paying £150+ for a new one.
Cheers,

Have some respect man, the old one is still warm and you are talking about a replacement 0 -
I crashed last weekend. A drunk guy on a bike pulled out from the pavement between 2 cars and I went straight into him. It wasn't until I got a couple of roads from home that I realised my headbadge had fallen off. Luckily in my case no cars had run it over when I went back to collect it and I just glued it back on the next day.0

My work blocks your picture. I was like :shock: :shock: until someone replied indicating it was a Garmin down. Not climber, not sprinter, not rouleur0

Guess you guys should see the thread about the TT girl that did just killed in a car accident and consider removing this post0

After I lay him to rest (in the peddle bin in my kitchen) I think about it.I crashed last weekend. A drunk guy on a bike pulled out from the pavement between 2 cars and I went straight into him. It wasn't until I got a couple of roads from home that I realised my headbadge had fallen off. Luckily in my case no cars had run it over when I went back to collect it and I just glued it back on the next day.
You lucky, lucky b******!!!!!
I suppose time (and some new shiny bike accessory) will be a great healer.0 -
If only he'd been wearing a helmet..........0

I think we'd all agree that this is a tragic loss. But people can still have a sense of humour about other things. Jeez...0 -
Agree, but maybe not the same day as the post I refer to0

As above, contact Garmin support; they're a freephone number on their website and based in Southampton.
Send it to them, and they have a turn around of sending you a new refurb within 10 days maximum. My 305 FR cost £50.40 to get replaced. I was well chuffed - new non-eroded loud speaker too!0 -

Steve, I take on board your comments and my thoughts go out to all her family and friends as this is a very sad loss, however I ride to keep fit and take part in sportives, I have no interest in amateur racing and as such never read that section of the forum where the original message was posted so how was I supposed to know?0 -
OK, hence why I then posted the thread link0

Seriously you need GPS to find your way to work?
:?
(yeah I know it does other stuff)0 -

Aah that happened to my mates cateye once. It was my fault - I asked him how far we'd gone and he clicked the display - turns out it wasnt locked on properly - it flicked off and into the road.
By the time we'd gone back - 2 cars had gone over it - then the 3rd one crushed it.
There were digits all over the place,,,,

No it doesn't.
Everyone here in our community feels the deepest of sympathy for others' loss. I honestly don't know why you would think any different. There is a whole lot of tragedy happening everywhere in the world every second of the day. Sad but true. And we all wish that were not the case. But it is.
Respect due to our friends and their families.
As we were.0 -

+1.
It should be re-titled by the OP or removed by the mods.Life is like a roll of toilet paper; long and useful, but always ends at the wrong moment. Anon.
Think how stupid the average person is.......
half of them are even more stupid than you first thought.0 -
I wasn't offended but if I'd lost a mate in an accident as some on here have.......'Happiness serves hardly any other purpose than to make unhappiness possible' Marcel Proust.0

Just keep bumping it back to the top then. That should help.0

It's only a sick joke if it was done with the knowledge of or the intention of being linked to the accident.
Otherwise its just a bit of unfortunate timing. Yes a horrible thing has happened, but it's something that does happen and we can't expect everyone to be aware of and restrict what they say and do everytime something like this happens.
On the other hand, if it was done with the knowledge of the accident then it should really be changed.0 -

If you've recently visited the Cake Stop and it's in your computer's history you don't need to see the home page to get here.0 -
Most people will have the forum bookmarked rather than go through the homepage... I think.0

Correct.
Have to agree with Ollieda, the timing was unfortunate and attacking the op is mis-guided.0
