Sorry for sounding like a jerk, but who cares? A guy that rides a bicycle really well. It's not like he is out there doing something that matters.

I mean it sucks the dude got hurt. I just don't understand why sports people are put on a pedestal.

Though I hate to say it, but perhaps there is another angle to this. Perhaps the cycling fraternity are trying to amplify thier case for safer roads for cyclists?

I mean if we are really, REALLY going to suggest that because two people who are part of the most at risk road user demographic in the land, who happen to work together, getting knocked off thier bikes inside of a twenty four hour period is somehow suspicious, then its worth looking at it from that angle also.

Me personally, bearing in mind the fact that cyclists are the most at risk road users in the country, I can swallow the coincidence. I can certainly swallow that an awful lot easier than I can swallow the fact that we live in a capitalist nation, which laughingly claims to be democratic.
