She was a former high level exec, and 50 years old; speeding down a major slope.

These things are dangerous. Better to walk and use a treadmill for cardio.

Here in Colorado, fit middle aged are dying on bicycles out of proportion for the number of persons doing it.

It’s not the bicycle, it’s the users. Some people need instruction manuals to get through life.

Article says he was in the bike lane. Sounds like the cop plowed into him.

You can get a bicycle to faster than 70 mph downhill, but they don't have the tires or suspension to handle it.

“You can get a bicycle to faster than 70 mph downhill, but they don’t have the tires or suspension to handle it. “

A bike going 70 mph is a collection of parts in the same orbit.

Bold statement. Do you have facts to support your claim?

Anyone who rides a bicycle on Mullholland has a death wish. That area of the Hollywood Hills is full of winding roads with poor visibility and heaps o’ morons with fast cars.

A lot of people live on Mulholland. It goes from the ocean all the way into the city.
