    Default When You Number Is Up........

    Hi,

    And sometimes it is the result of a fellow human being.

    A cyclist died after he was hit by an apparently suicidal man who jumped from the 35th floor of a nearby building in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen, state media has reported. The 52-year-old cyclist, surnamed Li, was making deliveries from his fast food restaurant when the jumper landed on him on Thursday afternoon, the official China Daily reported on Sunday.

    The younger man, surnamed Liu, was allegedly a drug addict who had moved to Shenzhen from the north-eastern province of Heilongjiang, the newspaper quoted local media as saying. He jumped from the balcony of an apartment after standing there for 12 hours, it said. Liu died instantly and Li died later in hospital, the newspaper said in a brief report.

    Well ain't that just life.. I've been walking around for years now and even the sky hasn't fallen on me.
    Mind you, I can claim to be the only cyclist I know who was run over by a pedestrian. It is true. He came out of the Underground station in London, saw a bus he wanted to catch and ran straight into the side of me. He didn't even fall over. I was wearing clips and straps on my pedals and so skidded sideways and lost a fair bit of skin. Bugger didn't even stop.
