It's a troubling thing, and I am troubled by it. Reading the account of the fella who rode a good part of the double century with Tom, I am left thinking a few things:
1. I should try one of his saddles [if for no other reason, than tribute and homage]. 2. People should know CPR. 3. People say strange things when under extreme stress [but that's understandable and thusly, forgivable]. 4. That those that didn't stop and/or were concerned with their finishing times: what has gone so incredibly wrong with humanity that the idea of "Schedule" and "Deadline" in the day to day of the workplace has infected 'weekend activities' to the point where a fallen cyclist, a few other cyclists bent over him, a helicopter sitting nearby, various policemen and a couple nurses wouldn't -at minimum- pique the other double century riders to stop? That's the one biggie that's really left me troubled. I can see stopping and being told to "move on" by the police, but it seems most didn't even do that... and no, it wouldn't have saved Tom it seems, but jeez, is a finishing card, a personal 'best' time, a jersey, an anything- really worth not being concerned or even just plain downright curious?
