So much for the alleged "healthfulness" of mountain biking....

Just for giggles, my cardiologist prefers that I ride a bike (any bike) to walking.

The proper comparison is with mountain biking. Ask him about that (if he knows anything about it).

Willo managed to inspire more people to take up mountain biking in one day than you'll ever discourage in your lifetime. Even in his passing he will still be motivating people to ride and support the sport. How do you think you will be remembered?

For caring more about mountain bikers' welfare than you do & that they themselves do (which of course isn't saying much).
