He's got a point and not trivializing anything. One news report referred to the intentional running down and murder of the soldier in Quebec as "killed in a car accident." Geesh!

Years ago, in Jr High or High School, I participated in a TT race on the bike trail. Whew... what a stupid idea that was. A bunch of young kids going all out on a winding bike path with a lot of other unsuspecting trail users.
Anyway, I signed up for Strava a few weeks ago. I've mainly only been turning Strava on for a few short segments and hard training rides, but I decided to leave it on for some rides along the bike paths.
To my surprise, I snagged a dozen or so short segments.
Most of the segments KOM speeds are around 25 MPH, but a few have KOMs up to just over 30 MPH. A couple segments are on wide sections of the trail (12 to 20 ft wide). But, some are hitting the narrow sections of the trail too.
I may try some max effort rides along the straight wide sections of trail, but not where it is too busy.
Anyway, I was thinking that Strava should block out all times greater than 20 MPH, and treat all fast riders as a single group with a single time.
