Motorcycle Crashes into Bicycles Mulholland Hwy The Snake 4/27/2013

Rider hits cyclists coming out of a turn on Mulholland Hwy. Cyclists didn’t appear to have serious injuries. Note about cyclists and riders co-existing on this famous 2 mile stretch of road. Even though bicycles are up here in increasing numbers, this is the first time a bicycle has been hit by a motorcycle In the four years I’ve been up here. Motorcycle riders of all skill levels come up here to ride. The rider was not speeding & riding fine until he hit his foot and stood the bike up causing the bike to go wide. He then target fixated on the cyclist. . Here is a similar crash – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bGAXsv… There are many more just like it. It is a very common type of crash on this turn. Just usually no one is there and the rider falls alone. It is very unfortunate, and a rare case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. We wish the cyclists a speedy recovery.

He’s doing ok today, was discharged from the hospital yesterday with no broken bones. Miraculously..”
