Braving the Deep, Deadly South on a Bicycle - Aaron Reuben. Cyclists are 10 times likelier to be killed in South Carolina than in Oregon.
What makes southern roads so treacherous? In Charleston, South Carolina, a white bicycle stands permanently chained to a signpost at the corner where Edwin Gardner was "hit and run over and dragged" by a car three years ago. (Aaron Reuben) Ken Spicer’s grandkids were expecting him when they heard the accident. From inside the house it sounded like a car had hit a post. “I was knocked up into the air,” Spicer remembers. This kind of accident can, and does, happen anywhere. According to a benchmark study, released last year by the National Alliance for Biking and Walking, the states of the southern U.S. are the most dangerous per biker, and per bike mile traveled, by a wide margin. By the time Ken Spicer arrived at the local medical center, where he is a practicing radiologist, he had lost more than half the blood in his body.

But this is changing – especially in the cities. In Beijing for example, some four million bikes now compete for road space with more than two million cars. China’s exploding middle class has more money and they want an upgrade. But this has also created an interesting side effect… now that more people have more money and more cars, some of those people are choosing to use that money and those cars to escape the cities and go mountain biking. It is the infancy of what could someday become one of the largest mountain bike cultures in the world. Late last year, Shimano invited Thomas Vanderham, Matt Hunter, Andrew Shandro, Darcy Turenne, Endless Biking and us (the Anthill crew) to come to China and be part of a mountain bike festival at the country’s first lift-accessed bike park.
