So much for the alleged health benefits of mountain biking....
Mike Mountain biker dies on trail by Compiled by Clarke Morrison published June 9, 2007 12:15 am Read 1 comment » e-mail this Print this BENT CREEK — Emergency workers spent at least an hour trying to find a man who died Friday while riding a mountain bike on a trail in the Bent Creek area, said Mike Staton, battalion chief at the Skyland Fire Department. The man had been riding with a group in an area between Rice Pinnacle and Ledford Branch Trail. “He had rode ahead on the trail,” Staton said. “When one of the bikers got there, they found him off the bike. He was unresponsive.” He said fellow bikers tried to revive the man as emergency crews made their way to the area on all-terrain vehicles. A cause of death had not yet been determined, Staton said. The call was received just before 11 a.m. The identity of the man, believed to be in his 50s, had not yet been released pending notification of family, said Mike Lindsay, chief of public safety for the N.C. Arboretum. -- I am working on creating wildlife habitat that is off-limits to humans ("pure habitat"). Want to help? (I spent the previous 8 years fighting auto dependence and road construction.) Please don't put a cell phone next to any part of your body that you are fond of! http://home.pacbell.net/mjvande |

Rarely do road pro-cyclists make it to age 60, most die before that from heart attacks. Cyclists dying from heart attacks is very common. Knew a guy who died from a heart attack in a marathon, which really shocked the other runners. What they didn't know was he was an avid road cyclist. We will live short lives, but at least they're fun years, get use to the idea. |

I am not now nor ever was a pro, but cycling has made me a very much above average 58.67 Year old. At least he went out doing what he enjoyed instead of staring into space from a rest home wheelchair. Cycling = good. Vandeman's opinions = bad. Bill Baka |

http://www.google.com/search?q=hiker....microso ft:e n-US&ie=utf8&oe=utf8 That's why the pioneers hated the mountains, stayed out of the mountains. Only demented people like Jim Bridger, could even survive in such a hostile environment. They weren't stupid, today they are. |
