Another danger of cycling...

Notices
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

What does this have to do with the "dangers of cycling"?

He was on a bike. BFD. Might as well say "Another danger of living in Nashville".

The dude just happened to be on a bike when he got shot. How does that correlate with actual dangers of cycling?

It can happen while walking down the street. Would you consider that "Another danger of walking" ?

There is a very good chance that if you continue to live you will eventually die.
