>I read the article in the St. Pete Times about Joshua Kuck 22 from USF cycling team who was killed during the Hilly Hundred - the article states Mr. Kuck ran a stop sign while riding in the "Hilly Hundred," an event sponsored by the Tampa Bay Freewheelers cycling club, the Florida Highway Patrol reported. This happens all too often during these "non-race" events and even on training rides. We're extremely lucky nobody got killed during the Santa Fe Century where some riders crossed 441 without waiting for traffic (there were other incidents) - its a sad day when a cyclist gets killed - we all need to learn something from this. We do this for fun and for some level of fitness. For one mistake this guy doesn't get to ride again. Be smart and be safe out there
