Default Too fast, too close, not enough protection.

In a group of twenty cyclists on an annual run he falls off and sustains
enough head injuries to kill him, were they racing? should they be more
spread out? What is the answer?

Cheerless says "Too close" Link makes no mention of that being a
factor. No mention of the accident involving anyone else.
Cheerless says "Too fast" Link says nothing about speed
Cheerles says "Not enough protection" Link says nothing about that. No
indication as to whether more protection would have saved him.
Cheerless asks "Were they racing?" Link says it was an organised
cycling event, so not a race.
Cheerless asks "Should they be more spread out" Link makes no mention
of spread, just a group of 20.
Cheerless asks "What is the answer"
I suggest he stops inventing stuff.

Dave - bikes really can be viable as a means of transport

Strange how you can mock a son who has lost his father, yet elsewhere
you can pretend to care about a woman unknown to you who was assaulted
by a cyclist unknown to you.
If I thought that any of you were genuine, I'd feel saddened.
