Default Cyclist dies during mountain biking race

As if the environmental damage weren't enough.... Too bad mountain
bikers don't care enough about themselves and their peers to publicize
these things....

Cyclist dies during mountain biking race
Sun, 30 Nov 2008 8:36a.m.
A cyclist has died after crashing during a mountain biking competition
north of Kaikoura.
The 40-year-old man was reported missing to Blenheim Police around 3pm
yesterday afternoon, after failing to finish the annual Moa mountain
bike ride in Kekerengu Valley.
A Police and helicopter search found the man's body about 20 metres
down a bank off the edge of the road, about 7 km from the end of the
course.
It appears the man failed to navigate a corner on the track.

Not having children is Mikey's greatest contribution to the health of
the natural environment.

I'm pretty sure he could do one better by ceasing to exchange oxygen
altogether.
