[Bootlegger]

The UCI has been taking their time (dragging their feet?) on allowing disc brakes in the pro peloton. The rim brakes currently in use are far inferior to the technology available. Quite simply, the cyclist was traveling way too fast and the car (and motorcycles) should not have been in their space. I just read he was still hospitalized. All competitive mountain bikes come with disc brakes and they work. That was a scary situation/collision.
