I recently ranted [1, 2] about bike path speed limits, and definitely had my doubts that many people get hurt badly on trails. Well, here's a story about someone who died in a trail accident, right here in Denver.

I wonder how often this actually happens? The story is short on details, so it's hard to know what caused the accident. For example, if the victim was truly riding single-file, then how was he hit by someone coming from the opposite direction? Was either cyclist going over the "speed limit"? If not, can the speed limit actually save us from harm? If so, was it speed that killed?
