Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Multiple cyclists killed by driver going 80 M.P.H

This just occured today. Not much news on it yet, but it says that it involved multiple cyclists and a car going 80 M.P.H. I'm going to assume the car won this time. Truly saddening and scary at the same time considering I visit this park and go on this section of road almost every day. The speed limit here is 35..Best wishes to the families and hopefully more news comes out soon.

Looks like the reports of cyclist deaths were in error:
