So much for riding into work today. Two miles out just as i was thinking, "gee I've had this bike for a long time without any real problems."

This bolt came as part of a super cheap seat post. Guess it shows. Now to go back to my original post.

The rider was not injured.

Note failure occured at transition from threaded section to unthreaded section. Unclear if this is significant.
