US Secretary of State John Kerry airlifted to hospital after French Alps cycling crash
The US Secretary of State, John Kerry, has been airlifted to hospital after a bike crash in the French Alps, but his condition is believed to be stable.
Kerry was flown to Geneva University Hospital by helicopter with a leg injury after the incident in the Haute-Savoie region, according to the Independent.
The newspaper reports Kerry did not lose consciousness following the crash near Scionzier in the French Alps, and was being accompanied by a motorcade that included paramedics and a doctor.
The Secretary of State has been in Switzerland for Iran nuclear talks in Lausanne, which are expected to last for another month. A keen cyclist Kerry, 71, was spotted on his bike in Switzerland in March during the talks, when he suffered mechanical problems on his 10-year-old road bike and received a police escort to a local bike shop.
He was spotted later in the month in a Lausanne bike shop with further mechanical issues, both apparently related to the gear shifter mechanism.
It hasn't been confirmed whether or not talks will be delayed by the accident.

So, would you accept 60 quid including shipping?
An impact where that's a consideration will scrap the frame regardless of any cable openings

The handlebars have been turned through 180 degrees, so it looks weird.
That's sounding like some road debris (branch?) got caught up in your wheel, then. Good luck with the riding.
Thank you all for your quick responses. Very much appreciated. Good info to have about mixing and matching cranks. Vic B.
