Same.. I rode that bike path hundreds of times over a 15 year span… and it was only to get to and from the Pacific Coast Hwy bike lane, where you could hammer as hard as you could, solo or on a group ride. These dudes are jokers.
Hope the riders recover quickly. A rotating paceline on a bike path seems to me to be inviting trouble. I know these days riders don't like to train on the roads, but riding that fast in a group trading pulls on a multi-use path is just nuts.
Good thing you immediately called 911. My worst crash was on a bike trail too, happened at noon, someone riding on my lane from opposite direction out of a blind curve, crashed head on, he faceplanted, lots of blood on body and face, I had a severe concussion and broken ribs, both of us were incapacitated of calling help. I rode home semi-conscious. Passers-by didn't care for calling help. Be careful out there
Thanks for the reminder to stay as far away of chubby middle age Cat 3-4 guys in lycra pretending to race. I hope the guy makes a full and quick recovery.
Telling the elderly woman on the cruiser bike to slow down is hilarious in so many ways. If only more bikers would be willing to hit the brakes every now and then. You’re not winning the TDF out there. Hope those involved have a full recovery.
The LA and OC river trail bike paths are not the place for group rides. I’ve seen this way too many times over the years. Especially on busy weekends! Hope the rider heals up quickly.
First of all why were you riding on a bike path at 25mph in a rotating pace line bike paths have a speed limit to 15mph and yes I am a cyclist I used to race as a cat 3
Yeah....I'm a distance cyclist, just turned 75 today, I still do up to 100km treks, albeit I'm slowing down a bit, so 60-70 whets my whistle, but cyclists doing this shid on a shared pathway is as dangerous as cycling on a highway. I just don't freakin' get it. It's supposed to be fun, and liberating, not some manic, macho marching fest. Each to his/her own I guess, but not on my trail, or those who I cycle with safely.
First off Mr. Cat 3.. this type of accident happens all the time. They were doing everything correctly. They called out approaching riders, passing on the left etc. This was just an error in judgement when merging back in. They never once put anyone else on the trail in danger. I bet every person commenting has gone 20 plus on a trail like that if you have one.
@@stephensaines7100 Do you say the same thing when Pro Tour riders crash? How many Pro guys on closed routes crashed out of the tour this year? Why was Jonas and Wout not at top form? Crashes.. its part of the sport.
Hate to see any crash but that's the biggest problem with socal riverbed racers. And to clear things up.... CV is a local club. "Team" is kinda stretching it. Save the pace line for the road.
Yes, after being in a coma for 2.5 weeks, he came out of it and struggled for a few days. Then he rapidly got better and now for the past 2+ weeks he goes for hikes and is riding on his stationary bike. Looks like a full recovery. Also, thanks for asking. Thoughtful of you.
Bad paceline transitions happen even on open roads, although, country roads are a bit wider with more maneuvering room. Give us an update on the hurt riders condition, and I hope he recovers and gets back on the bike ... in time. Always remember, there are speed limits on bike paths for a reason.
That bike path is too small for rotating. I hope that the rider recovers. Cycling is still awesome, but yall need to look at where you are being safe. Lessons learned here.
Every cyclists worst nightmare.Thats one of the reasons I only ride on the countryside or quit areas.I also avoid cities and busy road.As a cyclist you have very little that protects you.Hope both guys recover.
Your post-crash commentary was idiotically unhelpful. Standing there stating how “fucking bad” the situation was did nothing to help your groaning “buddy” feel better.
This video popped in my feed. Looks just like the Rio Hondo and SG River path. Is this the Santa Ana river path? Horrible crash. I really hope he recovers. Unfortunately I was nearby when that cyclist was killed in Irwindale a couple days ago. Happened about a minute before I was going to cross the same street. Hope your buddy has a full recovery from this.
Hi Starlitshadows, yes... this was on the Santa Ana River Trail headed to PCH and we were just northeast of the 405 freeway. I ride the Rio Hondo and SG River trails occasionally. I'm on the SG Trail for a little bit once a week on my way to the Montrose ride. No, I did not hear about the rider killed in Irwindale but no doubt I will hear soon through the grapevine. It's crazy how many riders get killed or seriously injured in crashes. Cars involved less than half the time. Not to bring you down but 8 weeks ago a gal rider friend of mine was hit from behind by driver on cellphone, she had many broken bones including broken neck but she is recovering quite well. Two weeks ago a local rider died in a solo mountain bike crash on dirt trails. Then a Norwegian rider killed on high speed descent a week ago. Bike riding is quite dangerous.
@@deanhough8993 yeah a guy stole a car from a dealership and was in a high speed chase. He hit the cyclist near the SG river crossing on Arrow by the dam. I was on the dam heading down when it happened. And sorry to hear about your other friend as well. Things like this just make me be more careful. I ride solo mostly on the river paths, bike lanes, back roads and low traffic times on mountain roads to reduce risk. Never have I thought there would be such a serious accident as this on the bike path though. Just makes me feel a bit more cautious. Wishing your friends well and stay safe out there.
He got me when he said,Its so much fun till it isnt 😂😂😂. Shouldnt have been riding like that in the first place on a bike path where others are also riding.. Hopefully he learned a hard lesson, and his pals will follow suit..
Thank you for your kindness and support. The poor guy was in a coma for 3 weeks and was just woke up and is able to walk a little starting a week ago. He's got a long road to recovery. Bike riding is dangerous stuff. A gal teammate was hit from behind 4 months ago by a woman driving while looking at her cellphone. My friend suffered a broken neck, broken back, broken ankle and some other stuff. My friend was riding straight in the bike lane. Fortunately she is recovering and able to mountain bike now. But a month ago a nearby mountain biker crashed and died on a dirt trail. There are easily 100 different groups riding on this trail at high speeds each day of the weekend. I'm often at 28 MPH or 30 MPH on this trial. This was a "slow" ride. Crazy how arm chair quarterbacks have all the answers when they know so little. Some people say go to the track. Really? I raced on the track for 5 years as a 1-2 and raced against pros and I won about 70 races, not to mention coming in top 3 at least 300 times. I raced a lot. There are many crashes on the track too. Most riders can't handle the demands of riding on a track. And then there's the fact that there are only 3 tracks in all of Southern California and maybe one track up toward San Francisco. There must be at least 100,000 serious bike riders in California and we're going to make them drive to one of those 4 tracks and squeeze onto them somehow? Brilliant. But again, thank you for your kindness and lack of passing judgement. And to all the know-it-alls shooting their mouths off about having Tour de France fever and attributing that for any kind of recklessness... I tried out for the 1984 Olympics to do the points race and missed making the Olympic team by one place, beaten by a guy that I beat half the time. Four years ago I bumped into 3 fast riders on this BIKE trail and one of them was extra strong. I rode with them for 10 miles and they couldn't drop me, even though they tried their hardest. We were going 31 MPH the whole way. Turns out he was a pro Tour de France racer (Kevin Vermaerke), we became casual friends on Strava and he said he was impressed that I was able to hang with them. Even more impressing that I was 62 years old when that happened. I also raced with Greg LeMond back in the day, so I must have something going on. But it seems that I could learn a thing or two from all these experts here in RUclips land.
Brain bleeding has stopped, so that's positive. He is still in a medically induced coma with a breathing tube in ICU. That's as much as I know. Multiple fractures but I will get more details soon. I saw the rearview camera video from the rider in front of him and it captured the moment he clipped the wheel in front of him. Rider in front decelerated a tiny bit, didn't wobble or anything. Unfortunately my buddy's front wheel barely touched my other buddy's rear wheel, overlapped by a quarter of an inch if even, and that's all it took.
Dude was in a coma for almost 3 weeks. Came out of it, able to walk slowly and has trouble speaking. It's going to be a while before he fully recovers. I'll update you when I hear more.
The answer is literally thousands and thousands of riders do rotating pacelines on this bike trail each year. On any given Saturday you will find at least 20 different groups with 15-30 riders doing a rotating paceline precisely like this one with many of them going faster than this. That doesn't count the 100+ smaller groups of 3-10 riders doing pacelines just like this one. Same thing is true on Sundays. Same things is true most weekdays, morning and afternoon and evening although mornings are the most common times to see this. It's amazing to me that people like you can pass such harsh judgement based on a snapshot in time of a mishap. Crashes are an inherent part of bike riding and bike racing. There are crashes in at the Rose Bowl training rides in Pasadena. Crashes in all training rides from time to time. Crashes in all bike races including the Tour de France. Ride on the street you say? Ride solo to be safe? Obey all traffic laws and ride safely in the bike lane with no pacelines, no other riders?? And get hit from behind by a distracted driver on their cellphone and get a broken neck, collar bone, ribs and ankle, like what happened to a female teammate 3 months before this video was made. You should get a clue. You're the one who is dumb. BTW, the guy in this video who crashed here has made a full recovery and he is now... riding his bike... in a paceline again... on this trail. To be truly safe we should wrap ourselves in bubble wrap and lock ourselves in our homes and never venture outside, ever.
@@deanhough8993 Still, just because others do it does not mean you should follow like sheep! That is why he is lying on the ground moaning! But you do, you tough guy! It's about right vs. wrong, and you and all of you who are doing this on the bike path are WRONG!
There are a lot of these a$$holes on the bike path in Sanremo Italy, too. Most with no lights. One guy passing me clipped my handlebars. He went down hard he got fucked up. Blood everywhere. I only ride with 3 others. And we are not racing. One guy is faster so we just let him go ahead.
i feel its too narrow and too much traffic of different types to go above 15mph Its speed sqr is energy 20Plus no go on this trail But maybe this was not the cause It happens in ideal roads with good group at speed If pushing it
I've held off with update requests because there wasn't any positive news until recently. After 2+ weeks in a comma and breathing tube in ICU, he regained consciousness after 2.5 weeks and is able to walk slowly at 3 weeks after the crash. He's got significant impairment of all kinds right now. He's able to communicate sort of but wow, what a bad situation. Meanwhile a buddy crashed in the Manhattan Beach Criterium a week ago. That guy broke his clavicle, hip, ribs and other bones, punctured lung, not good. 4 months ago gal friend on my team was rear-ended by a car where driver was looking at their cellphone. She was in the bike lane, minding her own business, broken neck, broken back, broken ankle, but she is making a good recovery after long stint in hospital. Bike riding is dangerous.
@@deanhough8993 : man, it’s good to hear he’s on the recovery path. Thanks for the update. Sorry for your other friends. It is definitely a dangerous sport that at the same time, we love doing it. Be safe.
I hope the rider is ok,,, speed will get a person into trouble fast especially riding on urban trails... yha want too go fast find a track ,,, its most likely a safer bet on tracks that are designed for speed
WOW! The comments here are disturbing. I am a cyclists who self trained for, not just racing, but for Velodrome, group riding, path riding, and racing with over 5,000 hours of riding in a 3 year period. I have ridden on many trails in Virginia and Washington State, and the only incident I have encountered was with 2 ladies walking onto the trail who were not following the rules. 1 must have been deaf or just plain stupid and was a fat B! Where did this person that got injured come from? BC if u look at the video he is no where in it right before this incident occurred. So most likely he is behind them and did not signal his intentions or he came onto the trail the wrong way. So, who here knows whose fault this is? If you are passing someone on the trail you are supposed to say "On the Left" bc that is where r supposed to pass.
And here I always thought the responsibility of passing safely belongs to the person doing the passing…. If we just stopped treating other trail users as obstacles, the experience could be enjoyable for everyone.
Rider behind me had a rear facing camera that caught the whole thing. My buddy clipped the wheel in front of him by 1/8th of an inch. Innocent mistake but he fought it and caused him to slap the ground really hard.

Similar close call to me Some bicycler was looking on the floor while he heading on my direction
Conditions dictate speed... Completely inappropriate to ride a 25mph paceline on that narrow shared bike path.
I've ridden many thousands of miles for fitness and race training. Never in group rides or on bike paths.
Always ride alone make my own pace and stay away from trouble as much as possible
Hope the gentleman recovers quickly, but 25 MPH pace line on a mixed use trail??? Insane!
Going race mode in a bike path?!? That's dumb, stupid and very irresponsible. Only posers only do that.
This gentleman is in my thoughts and I wish whoever was involved a safe and fast recovery.
I ride by myself and am afraid to join groups because of stuff like this. Hope your friends recover quickly.
In many ways groups are safer than solo because they increase visibility to vehicles.

After the crash, the other rider is telling folks using the trail appropriately to “slow down”. What a hypocrite!!
They're telling other riders to slow down because it's an accident scene and a rider is lying on the path. It's not hypocritical, it makes good sense.

So most likely he is behind them and did not signal his intentions or he came onto the trail the wrong way. So, who here knows whose fault this is? If you are passing someone on the trail you are supposed to say "On the Left" bc that is where r supposed to pass.
The guy who crashed hard was in this paceline... Him and another rider crossed wheels when they merged together.
And here I always thought the responsibility of passing safely belongs to the person doing the passing…. If we just stopped treating other trail users as obstacles, the experience could be enjoyable for everyone.
Rider behind me had a rear facing camera that caught the whole thing. My buddy clipped the wheel in front of him by 1/8th of an inch. Innocent mistake but he fought it and caused him to slap the ground really hard.
