I used to do some cycle racing & unfortunately fatalities are a part that is unspoken of & mostly ignored! It's there but it's not spoken of among competitors! Irish
P.S. I'm still in awe at the speeds that they do on "city" streets. You have to turn your mind off to drive
like that!
P.P.S. My father once told me that if I raced some day my joints would tell me when it would rain,snow , etc. & unfortunately he was correct!
