Thanks for the info. Good to know for future reference, may I never need
it.

It depends on your policy. You may even be able to have it covred by your
homeowners/rental insurance policy.

no, homeowners or renters insurance, would cover this, not auto policy.

Car policies usually exclude your other personal property for loses.

so if your car is broken into and the stereo is stolen, the radio as part of the car is covered, but the CD's that were taken too are not.

Out of curiosity, is that the kind of thing your auto insurance will cover?

Bit of advise. MAKE SURE you don't forget to secure your rear wheel strap when mounting your race bike to the rack ESPECIALLY if the bike rack is positioned the opposite direction on your car, because the wind may very well LIFT the bike up off the rack and leverage itself clean off the fork mount and hurl it into rush hour traffic.

 
I think it avoided contact with the general public, thank god. No other cars were stopped but I certainly held up traffic. Nice to give motorists another reason to hate cyclists...
 
Frame, fork, rear Ksyrium are toast - components surprisingly seem OK. Guess I'm skipping PIR tonight.

Heh, you saw that huh? Pretty spectacular -yeah, that was my bike.
 
Bit of advise. MAKE SURE you don't forget to secure your rear wheel strap when mounting your race bike to the rack ESPECIALLY if the bike rack is positioned the opposite direction on your car, because the wind may very well LIFT the bike up off the rack and leverage itself clean off the fork mount and hurl it into rush hour traffic.
