I looked for "Recumbent Cyclocross" and couldn't find any, even on
YouTube.
I guess there are limits to the human experience after all!

either Arizona or they could be curteous and buy a bell.

well, you know kids do that. I spend time in parkland watching birds.
Kids get stoned on the park experience, forget where they are and ride
directly out into the road from behind a hedge or brush.....

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

Firing a rifle from a bike is tricky though.

No. Cars should be banned.

+1... sort of... and not as the primary solution to this incident,
which is obvious. I just like the revolutionary thinking :-)
Actually, I usually say "ban gasoline", as that would certainly put
enough of a huge crimp in the car culture to force a rethinking of how
people get around.

Try firing a rifle from a horse.
