Ahh man that sucks. Hope he heals up well. ![]()
Finding it hard to read the story - will the door-opener be prosecuted?
No, Keegan will be charged for reckless driving for running into a parked car.
People in the LT26 thread were more optimistic than I am. I just can’t see him lining up in 7 weeks for Sea Otter. Even if he’s off the bike optimistically for 3 weeks….he’d be chasing his fitness for a couple weeks. I have doubts he’s going to be able to jump straight into his insane volume too.
That feels like an easy skip to me, regroup and get healthy for Unbound.
I never seem to see comments about this but once more when we see elite cyclists with fractures it makes me concerned that they have RED-S.
Is Matt Beers still going to race Cape Epic with someone else?
Keegan may be slotting into the teammate role more than he thought for Matt and Mads for this years LT Grand Prix
Totally sucks. The idea of getting doored scares the crap out of me. I try to do as much as I can to stay out of the door zone.
That is a specific endorsable offence in the UK.
+1000, and I don’t even ride that often in places where it’s high risk. Getting doored and going over a barrier/guardrail (at heights) are 2 things I am extremely anxious about and try to avoid the situation at all costs. And that was before I was on a ride where a guy went over a barrier on bridge and feel ~40 feet straight down (life flighted out, lived, mostly recovered). I’ve never seen someone get doored in person, but that could definitely be a life-altering/ending event.
It’s great that it is, and the hope is that it incentivizes motorists to look before opening the door. But if you do get doored and effed up, that’s not much consolation.
