Just two days ago, we had a cyclist and a pedestrian struck and killed in the streets in two unrelated accidents. What can we conclude from this? Riding is dangerous anywhere; so is walking.

You can do the same thing while cycling, as the video demonstrates.

At least the first 10 meters or so were vertical, then the next 40 meters I fell were just really damned steep. The video doesn't do a great job of capturing the cliffness of it, but if you look at the photos that eric took of the area you can get a better perspective. miles
