So you make your criteriums more spectator friendly by adding randomized
cones to the course.

Having them recessed and popping up randomly would help.

I can't imagine how a rubber cone could make a rider flip like that,
must have been the avoiding move that caused it. Also wonder if red
shoe cover clipped it, flipping it up in front of her. Orange jersey
had the famous locked-elbow gumby riding style - pretty hard to
quickly avoid things when you ride like that.

All in all, a typical group ride.

If you did that on a group ride I was in, you wouldn't be allowed back.
How could you not see the ****ing cone? It's painted in Hi-Vis orange.

I did nearly the same thing in a race, but I didn't splatter:

Second incident.

That's a good thread, some good stories in there.

dumbass,

a cone like that is pretty heavy. hitting the rubber base would be the
same as hitting a brick.
