The cyclists love route 100 which goes from Killington to route 89 which goes northeast. Anyway, it’s a 2 lane road with a 50 mph speed limit, and they ride in groups of 3 or 4 blocking the lane. Loads of bends and turns as you weave through the mountains, so it’s very difficult to pass. Nearly every time you try to go around them they flip you off and throw a hissy fit. I fantasize about running them over, and then backing up and running them over again in reverse. Stupid a$&holes. Expand That's the point where you drop your vehicle into neutral and slam down the gas pedal ... they'll move over quickly.

I'm trying to figure out what the woman was doing exactly or how you might explain her accident. Something I have noticed among my own friends/acquaintances is that there are people out there with zero--I mean no---athletic ability or coordination trying to engage in sporting pastimes. Like I have friends who try to roller blade but are a nano-second away from crashing the entire time time they skate along. I also have friends who simply lack the coordination to ride a bicycle. I think that is what's going on here. I honestly don't think this woman's depth perception was good enough to judge that the bridge was up or that there was a drop off that she was about to fall over, until she did it. Look at how she misses the gap she rides through. She clips one of the arms with her backpack and it almost causes her to crash as she is so off balance. I just think this is a case of her daydreaming and not paying attention combined with being so athletically inept that she struggles to ride a bicycle. I'm not sure how else you could explain the video. The unfortunate part is that she doesn't really get up after she dumps the bike, b/c I guess she was knocked out. She's lucky the bridge was designed the way it was. It probably could have been designed to open a gap where she fell as it opened, in which case she would have ended up in the drink. Expand Or pinched in a horrific industrial-recreational accident. Didn't view yet... But leaning depth perception from your post... Also moving up. Like people smashing into parked tractor trailers at night while the big rig is parked along side road?? Aren't there places also that create the illusion that you are traveling uphill, but really rolling down the road in a vehicle. Gravity hills: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_gravity_hills Of course... I am giving benny of doubt... But wanted to post this BEFORE I view the video and call them a dumb-azz...
