Mountain biker dies after collapse on Conwy trail

The Marin Trail covers 25km of a mountain biking route

A 54-year-old man has collapsed and died when mountain biking along a
popular forest track in Snowdonia.

It happened on Saturday evening on the Marin Trail near Betws-y-Coed
when the man, from Flintshire, was cycling with a brother and friend.

An ambulance could get only within a quarter of a mile so an Ogwen
mountain rescue team went to help.

Attempts to revive the cyclist, who had suffered chest pains, were
made but without success.

Rescue team members carried him on a stretcher to an ambulance.

He died doing something he loved instead of sitting behind a computer
waiting for his next court date.

Maybe he died from the shock of being attacked by a handsaw wielding
envirowhackonut?

Both the evolution part and the presumption that it was mountain-bike-
caused are illogical. A coronary problem could just as easily have
occurred while hiking, or bike riding in the city, or cooking beets.
Your argument collapses under the weight of too many variables.

Ed Dolan is a 'tard.

My theory is that he came across Tom Sherman's liberal-socialist-communist
rants on Usenet and died while mulling them over as he was riding his bike
on a hiking trail. Criminal mountain bikers, like
liberal-socialist-communist *******s, ALWAYS come to a bad end.

Sure, it could have but it didn't. It occurred while he was mountain biking.
Folks over the age of 50 need to learn that they are no longer young. They
are bordering on being old. Time to get some wisdom if you ask me.

The only variable is your idiocy.

At least I am not going to depart this vale of tears riding my bike like a
criminal on a hiking trail. Nay, I shall choose to die in my own bed at home
like any sensible law-abiding person.
