Californian Cyclist Riding the Train Tracks Got Hit and Killed by a Train

[William May]

Can I have the bike?

Never mind. I just saw the bike on the video.
Although, if I could synchronize the bikes' bent wheels with my erratic jerkiness, it could be a perfectly smooth ride.

Standard procedure. How long before we see CPR performed on a severed head? "CPR was in the ISO 9000 procedures and I didn't want to loose my job..."

I could never master rollers, just didn't have the balance. I'm so old, I go back to the days of Computrainer (late 90's)

~ I lived in Oxnard where & when this happened, this guy died because he used to try to challenge the bumpy railroad tracks with his bike all the time as a personal challenge.
~ That area where he was struck has alot of unused railroad tracks side by side. The Surfside train liner uses one of them to stop at the Oxnard Transportation Center in downtown Oxnard.
~ Another personal challenge was that he thought he knew exactly when the trains would go by every day and also which tracks, so he didn't pay attention to the train. Biggy Miss-Take!

A lovely day for a suicycle.

If it has a heart beat its still alive. Transported a guy with a heart beat and brains on the table next to him to the hospital.

American cops are trained to do CPR on corpses to simulate they do care for the people they shoot to death, muscle memory betrayed them on this particular occasion.

Would you like a blue bike, a red bike, or a pink bike?

Prefer either blue or red. I don't want to get a pink bike, and then have to stab someone 23 times in the chest each day, just because they made some "gay" comment. That's a LOT of work required in order to ride a pink bike. Wish society wasn't like that, but inevitably, some asshat needs a good stabbing to shut him the hell up, and it always winds up being ME that has to do it. It's really SO tiresome.
Then, on top of all that, I never have time to video or photograph the encounter, so I NEVER get to post them on here, and actually get some credit for being a good poster, like Simone or HermantheShocker.
It's just infuriating. So please don't send me a pink bike.
Just the world today.

Probably a homeless addict on the tracks on a bike
