24th September 2010, a legend, five times Race across America winner Jure Robic, died in freak road accident. During a training ride, he collides with a car, on narrow downhill where he was riding at speed of 50 miles/hour. It was very sad to hear about this. He was one of the world finest ultra-endurance athletes. He holds world record of riding 518.7 miles in just 24 hours. That is incredible feats. He was divorced and survived by 6 years old son, Nal. RIP Jure Robic.
In India especially in NCR, pedestrian and cyclist are more prone to accident then western country. Reason is very common we do not have any respect for cyclist or pedestrian. Changing this culture need lot of patients and respect for others on roads. All cyclists to learn to ride save with full gears, especially headgears to protect any head injury. Happy and safe cycling..
