This stuff has consequences. Anecdotally, I'm hearing or reading about more crashes in the San Gabriels and Santa Monicas. One social media influencer, who happens to be a super fast descender, the only rider whose wheel I've lost on fast sections of Hwy 2, went down pretty hard on GMR a few weeks ago. Cgolvin, you may know who I'm referring to; he mostly wears Rapha, rides a lovely $15k ti/carbon bike and has a very large, um, personality. What's most concerning to me is that when I run into these guys in the mountains, it's pretty obvious after a 5 minute conversation that they have very little concern for other cyclists, motorists and pedestrians. Narcissism at its finest.
