A world class marathoner, and tri-athelete Sally Meyerhoff was killed
last week when she crossed a busy highway without stopping at a stop
sign from a side road. You know you've seen it, head down, on the
aerobars, like a rocket but without situational awareness. Should
aerobars be banned from public roads?

A lot of tired riders end up staring at their front tire (and only
following the back tire of the person in front of them).

If you are concerned about a lack of situational awareness while riding
due to posture, get a recumbent: you will completely forget what your
front tire even looks like.

I ride aerobars all the time and never have had a problem seeing stop signs.

Even if the error was hers, it only resulted in her own death, hardly a
hazard to others, I'm generally opposed to expansion of the nanny state.

So without aerobars she would have been on the drops or hoods, head
down, like a rocket but without situational awareness. Same
mistake, same result.

This question is a classic non sequitor.

Triathlons should be banned. After all, getting off a perfectly
functional bicycle to run is abominable, unless the terrain is too rough
for cycling.
