McDonald's executive dies in bike plunge

The managing director of McDonald's Switzerland has been killed in a
mountain bike accident in the Swiss Alps.

Martin Knoll, a 51 year-old Austrian, was touring in a group when he
lost his balance and plunged about 50 metres in the Engstlenalp area
near Innertkirchen in canton Bern, the company's website announced on
Sunday.

His body had to be recovered by helicopter after the accident, which
occurred on Friday.

The area of the accident is popular with mountain bikers but police
describe it as "challenging". On the exposed stretch where Knoll fell,
notices advise bikers to dismount.

Knoll had been with McDonald's since 1993 and headed the business in
Switzerland and Liechtenstein since 2003.


Virginia you can't use a male alias and think you've fooled anyone.

You staged these bike accidents because you are sick inside.

Please refrain from anything regarding Mountain Biking because you are
not a mountain biker.

Your power trip you're on has you being invasive to others, you are a
sick child, please stop being involved in MTBing.
