We call this the "Tunnel of Death." Not sure why. Other than the fact that this is where I got in my first bike accident. For my safety while filming this video, I rode through the tunnel much slower than normal.
A brief account: "There is an area where the road is really narrow. At that spot, only the cars are allowed on the road. The scooters and bikes have to go on a separate sidewalk that goes through a tunnel, the "Tunnel of Death." The pedestrians have another designated sidewalk. Anyway, I was riding my bike throught the tunnel and the people in front of me slowed to a stop really fast. I reacted fast enough, but the people behind me did not. I was hit from behind, another cyclist. I was slammed into the wall of hte tunnel. Erin and Kristi were in front of the me, and heard the crash, but didn't realize it was me. Remarkably, I came out unscathed. I can't say the same for my bike. Now I can check that experience off my list."
