that is very enlightening but unfortunate

Why unfortunate?

They died.

Postscript: Sadly, Larry McDuff was killed in a hit-and-run accident while riding his bike near his home in June 2005. His wife, Ann, died in a similar bike accident just two years earlier.

I'm sad to find this out. One thing I know is cycling is dangerous! I road my bicycle 10,000 miles around the perimeter US and loved it but everyday on the trip I would hope that I would not get hit by a car. Had a few close call on the ride, but I made it home safe.

Here is a video of my ride: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8Uht3DnbOQ

I have watched your video before, good job!

Thanks! That is cool that you actually saw it. Ha. I'm going to try to complete the Pacific Crest Trail next year.

Good luck!
