    Default Sad news for MotoGP/SBK fans

    Nicky Hayden (the last American to win a MotoGP championship in 2006) has been involved in a serious accident. He was hit by a car while training on his bicycle. He's in a medically induced coma with his mother and fiancé en route to the hospital in Italy. They have reportedly been told to "be prepared to make some very difficult decisions".

    Always my fear when I'm biking, I've had a few close calls.

    Last year a friend was killed riding his bike.

    I hope he heals up soon!

    Honestly, having done some distance running, I thought about doing a triathlon.... but seeing the way cars were when I was running, I have serious concerns about riding a road bicycle... at least when I'm running, I can run against traffic and watch the cars. The thought of riding a road bike with cars flying past from behind me.... no thanks

    I've logged 1000's of miles on my Cannondale over the years, but haven't done much open road riding for 5~ years or so. Too many idiots out there to risk it. Sadly, the stationary at the Y is a poor substitute for fresh air and the wind in your face.

    Sounds pretty bleak for Nicky...Hope he catches a miracle.

    The early to mid 1990's were some of the best bikes ever made.

    Terrible news, I was hoping for the best when I heard about this on Wednesday. I just watched him race in WSB last Sunday. I've followed his career since his AMA days.

    Rest in Peace Kentucky Kid #69.......
