About 10 yrs. ago my gf introduced me to a guy about 45 yrs. old who was getting into cycling. We rode together in a few club rides for a season. He was strong but not really seasoned with 2-wheeled vehicles. The second season he crashed. I wasn't there but heard the story. My guess is his lack of experience and target fixation did him in. As I recall he broke a collar bone. He never rode again. Since then he's been a spinning instructor.
