I was packed up to ride torrey pines / del mar and north , when that news report came on . I just unpacked the bike ,did some yard work / short local ride. I bet it was someone on a cellphone & driving .


That whole area , mixing bikes and freeway traffic is just bad. I was hit once as a kid, all I can say it was quick ,like a golf ball hit off a tee. I was lucky and look up at a circle of faces looking down.

I use to ride 52 ( 3-4 lane 75 mph + ) east from 15 or santo road . I think some people slide over to see if they can " wind gust " you off the road . while your watching for bottles / chrome trim in my path.

He was wearing a helmet....which was reduced to powder. You need to look at the pictures and have more accurate info before putting out incorrect info that will put doubt into peoples head as to who was at fault.

I see people riding that stretch of the 52 all the time. And I think...."holy crap, what is that guy/girl thinking". I'll do repeats on the Torrey Pines hill anyday!
