Jeez,

Does this rnikeymouse person just hang out on that curve every weekend just waiting for people to eat it? Holy crap, I just watched a couple more of their vids!

Reminds me of an older couple who I regularly saw camped out at a particular nasty rock garden on a trail outside of Golden, CO. They had camp chairs and a picnic lunch. It was a nice spot really; nice view looking out the east, some shade and occasionally a fun show.

^^^ I think the cameraman sells people stills and/or video of themselves looking so awesome on their rides. There is probably a big sign with the website address farther down the road. You just look up the date you were so cool, and see if you want to buy it. This goes on at lots of popular routes. Who wants to be the first to offer a similar service at Noble Canyon, TW, or Nascar...?

Yeah, just a bit north of that intersection. And my use of the word 'misappropriate' in my previous post was in no way meant to disparage whatever occurred. Only, that ghost bikes usually mean car v bike.


Cycling father of 3 small kids hit by a male ER nurse driving home, after he fell asleep at the wheel following a long work shift, drifted into the bike lane. Sad for all. :(

Mudd,
Yeah, I saw the other thread with links to the UT and Patch articles. Horrible all around. The 'slow' lane is so wide at that spot I didn't want to think it was car v bike.

ODD,
Interesting. I wonder if the frequency of crashes would change if rnikeymouse was shut down.

I highly doubt that. The moto photogs usually get along really well with the riders. If someone were throwing crap in the road with that many riders around they'd get pummeled.
