Maybe they should have just walked the bikes?
downhill runs reach beyond 50 mph
at that point one mistake is death
provided your bike is tuned to withstand the set up a natural frequency, you still have to fight nerves and break pads
you need remarkable balls to successfully navigate a downhill mountain leg
period
............I think theres a much higher chance that bandidos stopped them, killed them and took their stuff.
The Mexican Cops, like many of our cops, don’t want the truth told.
Was this two bicyclist or two individuals on a tandem bike?
RIP to both. A little respect for the dead would be nice.
Unless there’s more to the road, it doesn’t seem so awful in this video.
Big chunks of Chiapas are under the control of communist guerrillas. Somewhat suicidal for white folks to venture into that area.
Looking for a thrill. They found it. Plenty of places to bike here in the states.
I hit over fourty on a steep hill near my house once. Then my newspaper bag got wrapped up in the front spokes. I hit the pavement hard and bounced back in the air. I still have a vivid mental image of blood splattering on the pavement in front of my second landing approach. I broke my jaw, a tooth, and had severe road rash. I’ve since flat tracked motorcycles and have over 1/4 million miles on road bikes. I’ve never banged myself up that badly on one.
At one point in time I lived on my bicycle and was able to bicycle over 100 miles each day. I am also fluent in reading, writing, and speaking Spanish. I used to travel extensively in Mexico. Today the idea of traveling, let alone bicycling, in Mexico is insane. One might as well apply for the top Darwin Award.
