BS. The article is about VIEWING mountain biking, not DOING it. People love to see accidents and gore.

Which is somehow different than your inhuman glorying in the deaths of
mountain bikers?

Thanks for demonstrating for the billionth time that mountain bikers ALWAYS lie. Show me where you see "glorying", LIAR. I publicize accidents because that's the only way to protect idiot mountain bikers from themselves. They think they are invulnerable.

Your constant posting of stories using provocative subject lines and
commentary certainly comes across as glorying. "Doing Him a BIG Favor!"
"Whoops, ANOTHER Dead Mountain Biker!" "Evolution in action!"

I am well aware that I am *not* invulnerable, as I'm sure every other
mountain biker is. Why don't you give us a break and try going after
skiers or rock climbers for a while? (Although I'm sure they're also
already aware of their mortality.) Or maybe some hikers - I know one in
particular who seems to think it's so safe that he probably needs a
reminder that it's not.

However, as the article in the Lancet this week shows the most dangerous thing of all is to do nothing. Over 5 million deaths caused by inactivity !

And, given that Mountain Bike Rider publishes, every month, pictures sent in by injured riders and has, on its site, a Top 10 Worst Crashes article I don't think anyone is pretending that accidents don't happen. We all know they do ... we just choose to take the risk ... greater or lower depending on activity type, speed and location.

That says NOTHING about teh danger of mountain biking.

Yes, you are. No mountain biker has EVER initiated a discussion of accidents in this newsgroup, in almost 20 years. Only I have.

We all know they do ... we just choose to take the risk ... greater or lower depending on activity type, speed and location.

BS. The people who have died or became seriously injured wouldn't have mountain biked, had they known the danger. DUH! They all assume that it will only happen to someone else.

Where in those phrases do you see "glorying". You are simply LYING. Stealing his bike was obviously doing him a big favor, preventing him from causing brain damage AGAIN. Another dead mountain biker simply states a fact. Live with it. Evolution in action is just basic biology. As usual, mountain bikers are incapable of telling the truth about their disgusting, selfish, destructive sport.
