Stay in bed?
For fucks sake, look out when you hit the road, those texting, working, shaving and reading car drivers are killers!
Pass.
Glad Barcia's ok.

I would think that these MX training grounds would have some tough MTB trails to replace the road biking. MTB gets your heart rate up way more than road cycling too. Throw them on a fixed gear MTB.
Completely hopeless idiots on the roads these days. Everybody is on their phone, all the time, period.
I ended up having surgery on both legs and was in a wheel chair for ~4 weeks. I'm still not close to 100%.
And two friends of mine have been hit on bicycles in the last year. One was in ICU for 5 days (happened last month) and the other was hit by an off duty neurosurgeon in a jeep. He's had multiple surgery's to correct the problems. And he was a competitive cyclist in Europe back when Lemond was racing over there.
My tale above began with me lane splitting in heavy traffic (and not very fast, I have already had people pull in front of my, so I abide by the "reasonable speed" caveat. I was going probably 25 to 30 through 15 mph traffic) and the driver swerving to pinch me into the adjacent car. I immediately tried to get away from the driver - no middle finger, no kicking, no gesturing, 2 hands on the handlebars trying to get away from crazy person with 3500 # weapon.
Road cycling is dangerous and I agree some cyclists act like they own the road which causes a bad image. Drivers can be just as bad, as well as motorcyclists who commonly forget what a blinker is or acting like they own the road.
Either way, your comment was pure ignorance.
