SAN DIEGO -- A 54-year-old man died Wednesday while participating in a bike 
ride in Rancho Penasquitos, officials said.

The man was riding in the Scripps Ranch Old Pros Fourth of July 10K Bike Ride 
at about 8 a.m. when he fell at Rancho Penasquitos Boulevard, underneath the 
state Route 76 overpass, said Sal Rodriguez, an investigator with the San 
Diego County Medical Examiner's Office.

Witnesses told KGTV10 News that the man began wobbling when he clipped the 
tire of another cyclist and dropped to the pavement.

He died at the scene, Rodriguez said.

It was not immediately known if the man suffered from a medical condition, or 
if the accident caused his death, said San Diego police Sgt. Jim Schorr.
