Look closely in accident picture. Do you see a motor?

Do you suppose the TV station is showing an attitude that says something like, "yeah, that's a motor on that bicycle. What does that have to do with anything?"

That would be cool.
 
Bike Crash

I couldn't tell either, but I know from scenes I have been on that paramedics leave enough trash to fill a truck. They rip supplies out of packaging left and right when doing their job, then jump in the ambulance and their trucks and off to the hospital. Looks also like he had a water bottle or two in addition?

Regardless, all small vehicles have to watch everyone else as most will not see us. My vets father was killed last year on his morning bike ride up the road at Wickenburg. He rode every morning for 30 years, slipped up one time and was killed when he went to turn around in front of a car.

I just ordered hydraulic rim bakes yesterday as my all up weight puts a major overload on the cantilever brakes. Normal stopping is one thing, panic an other. I wonder how many of us have measured our stopping distance at 20 MPH (30' per second.) ?

Ride safe, live to tell about it.

tricycle with small motor added ??

I doubt it was a motorized bike. If it was, the news media would have made sure that it was in the headline as a contributing factor to the accident.

don't think that the news or anyone else is out to make it look bad for MB's
MB's have been around for a vey long time now
and everyone knows that THINGS like this happen in life
bicyclist, motor driven cycles - less than 160cc and motor cycle riders
crash -- and are hurt or killed each day

how many die each year on tricycles ??
would more die on tricycles with a small motor added ??
yes
just plain common sense tells us that

all in all we have not heard of that many serious accidents on site involving MB's
