Watch out! Cyclist coming through

I know that the wide angle go pro footage makes the ridge they’re riding seem narrower and steeper on the right and left than it actually is, but still. These guys just turn real life into a video game. I can’t begin to imagine what it feels like to ride like that.
Sorry for being a Darwin awards candidate?
Who crosses a finish line of ANY sort of race, RIGHT WHEN THE RACE IS FINISHING, if you're not in the race?
Stupid tourist got what she deserved.
She was looking straight into the oncoming cyclists face.
Cycle race spectator wipes out frontrunner in Canary Islands collision
Spectators screamed as the cyclist slammed straight into a woman who had walked out into the road in front of the finish line at the Condaca Salmor bike race on El Hierro, Canary Islands.
He's in worse shape due to the head knocking into the ground. Still in hospital.
If he dies, she NEEDS TO GET MANSLAUGHTER!
The guess was in part based on the idea that his helmet would have given him the edge in that collision, but apparently not.
Put the phone's down when crossing streets, people.

That was nasty. Race officials should be held liable for allowing people onto the race course.
Nacimiento Ferguson Road, between Big Sur and Fort Hunter Liggett is closed to cars because of storm and fire damage. Rode it the other day with some friends. The climb up from the coast is STEEP. Epic ride though.
Partial success. Am calling it partial because it seems more than just manslaughter to me, but, well, that is just my opinion.
Blurb:
After weeks of legal negotiations, McAuley pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of manslaughter in the Brisbane supreme court on Monday.
In sentencing, justice David Boddice savaged McAuley’s “disgraceful behaviour”.
“Because of sheer rage and nothing else you caused the death of a 26-year-old male who was simply riding a bicycle home from work,” he said.
“You deliberately drove your vehicle, which you were incapable of controlling, so close to the deceased that it was inherently likely that he would be struck.
“Your behaviour on the night evidenced a complete disregard for human life. Your behaviour in the days following and in the ensuing years showed your complete lack of remorse.”
McAuley collapsed and wailed “no” as she was sentenced to serve 10 years in jail and declared a serious and violent offender.
She refused to leave the dock, reaching out to sobbing supporters in the gallery before being taken by prison officers from the court. The 49-year-old will be eligible for parole in July 2026.

i wonder how big of a tire i can squeeze into those campy brakes?
1974 Schwinn Paramount P13-9 unrestored
I sold this bike in 1998 and now have just sold it again. This owner only rode it twice, maybe 50 miles total, and the first owner, maybe not at all. It is the P13 racing model with sewups and Campy brakes. A racer's dream bike in 1974. It is all original, except maybe the gum hoods and...

Pretty sweet! I bet the chain stays will be the tightest area, as far as tire rub; probably only fit 28's, but hopefully bigger.working on closing a deal on one of this make/model/year but with silver paint....

28's should be good enough to handle bike path that varies between bad pavement and graded dirt, right?
something like this maybe?
Yeah, though bigger is better, imo. I'm on 35's now. There's a Gravelking SS that has a little less tread than what you have pictured. I really like them. They mostly just have the ridges on the outside.
Pinch flats? Much better. Punctures? The same.
Even with the old school skinny rims usually you can only go 25C max on an ancient racing bike like that.working on closing a deal on one of this make/model/year but with silver paint....

@Sharkbiscuit Continetal Gatorskins are what you want to prevent flat tires, size does not matter too much. Get the Gator Hardshells for ultimate flat protection, or a training tire, but they are slow.
