Dangerous start to MTB season

posted June 3, 2008 by trek7k

There’s been yet another mountain bike death this season, this time near Rocky Point, NY. Richard Olson, 49, was found dead on the trail next to his bike and police are investigating the cause of death. Just one more reminder not to ride alone and to always know your limits on the trail!

Updated: Road cyclists should beware as well – this photo comes from a race in Mexico Sunday just south of the US border. One rider was killed.
