EDIT - and I bet he's having an eternal ear bashing from his wife already... "see, I told you those things were dangerous... nag... nag... nag... Neutral

The bike would have contributed, but most deaths like these are caused by a weak heart then the actual activity.

As people have said, at least he went doing something he had wanted to do.

Very sad though.

RIP

I think there's a lesson in this to be learnt for all those over-protective wives out there... let your man be a man, let him ride a bike before his heart is soo nagged that it actually welcomes death at the first opportunity to be free!

Q. You know why women live longer than men?

A. Men want to go! Thumbs Up

Poor man probably built up all his excitement over 20 years while his wife was denying him his opportunity, and as soon as he managed to get on a bike, he got overwhelmed.

Women Thumbs Down

Poor bugger, he never even got round to posting 'I got 70mph out of my CG!!!' Smile

Such a shame, but then again he could have had a heart attack on the bog, nice way to go.

RIP. Karma

I expect realising I was about to get run over by a car would give me a heart attack too Wink

At least he got to realise his dream.
