Dear SDCBCers:
This evening, while riding the Rose Creek Bike Path south to a dinner
appointment in Ocean Beach, I heard a crash behind me about fifteen
seconds after I'd rounded that last bend between the Boat Club and the
golf course. I turned back and found a roadie had collided with a young
woman on a beach cruiser.
Fortunately, they both felt fine enough to dust off and go on their
merry ways. the roadie mentioned it was a blind corner, and said the
collision was "an actuarial inevitability."
Maybe if we had bike paths without blind corners the actuaries will go
play elsewhere. I do know I'll be slow and vigilant rounding that bend
in the future, and ma even mark it for speical attention if I plan a
group ride.
