this year's Romanian Cycling Tour has been marked by a tragic and absurd event, which in my view could have been avoided, with a normal degree of care and awareness. riding his last 50 m of the race, cyclist Razvan Juganaru ran over a 62 year-old man who decided to trake a few lethal steps into the circuit. i can only shrudder at the schock lived by both men......a moment which sent one in a deep coma and consequently to his personal finish-line......and the other, straight to the local police station to inquire about what was obvious.
in the commotion another cyclist was almost ran-over by car, thus finis coronat opis........
what in its essence is a celebration of physical and mental vitality culminated in stupidity and death.
the sour cherries on the commemorative cake are the intricacies of Romanian bureaucracy and judicial system which are complicating the life of the athlete. all in all, let's keep our fingers crossed that he will not end up with a criminal record just because suicidal old men are permitted in the public of badly organized national competitions.
to make things a bit more sininster, this is a photo of prez. BUsh holding his full-suspension TREK bike, with which i am sure he is killing all common sense.
i comment no further, myself being a proud owner of a TREK. oups, found my soft-spot
