Former Senator Mike Enzi Dies At 77 After Bicycle Accident
I don’t care about his politics. Sad to hear someone die in an accident. RIP and condolences to his family.
There are no accidents. Bad drivers are negligent.
People like you are going to get democracy destroyed
@Omicron-Omicron-Alpha-Yellow-Daystar-2-7-Enable Go get vaccinated.
Former retired senator ,4 terms,jesus christ those were 6 years each im assuming.
If he got hit by a car we will never know? The car industry just will call it a bicycle accident?
We need to ban bicycles obviously
I strongly disagreed with most of his votes, but it’s never good to see a loved one die so suddenly. I send my wishes to his family and friends
Passed away peacefully?! Dude got hit by a car.
Peacefully…as in not hung from a sheet in a jail cell by an Arkansas hit man.
Bicycling can be dangerous. I wish Mike’s family the best in their loss.
@George Emil it’s unusual to me that a 77 yr old borderline obese man is riding a bike
@Rottweiler Smith Sure, because not enough people or elderly people ride.
@Mr. Snrub apparently,police have seen no indication that anybody else was nearby or were involved in the accident,so apparently,enzi somehow lost control of the bike & fell,suffering a broken neck & multiple broken ribs,he never regained consciousness & died “peacefully “last night surrounded by family & friends at a trauma hospital in loveland ,Colorado ,which is roughly a 270 mile helicopter ride from his home in gillette,Wyoming
@Rottweiler Smith Exercising? Enjoying life? Just because he was 77 didn’t mean he couldn’t have a life.
Backing a coup can be more dangerous than covid induced vertigo.
Wear proper gear. Everyone always thinks I look goofy but I’ve been been in horrific accidents and walked away without a scratch. In fact a few months ago I was charging down a bike path and had to dodge some debris around hairpin turn I ended up having to go off the trail and there was a log I had to hit it head on you never want to hit a log at an angle and I flipped over and landed on my back. Especially when you get older it’s very easy to break bones. Trust me or either find out the hard way.
A helmet and kneepads doesn’t stop 2 ton cars from killing you. Because you aren’t wearing a helmet isn’t an excuse for a bad driver killing a cyclist.
I don’t think getting ran over by a car and killed is “passing away peacefully”
Depends how fast the car was going. At 75 mph it was probably a peaceful hit and run.
He didn’t deserve peaceful soooo
I like dark humor.
When you die, you die. WTF is peaceful have to do with it. Like you remember that moment?
Peacefully?
Like the sleeping driver?
It’s ironic that he died doing something that improves ones health, thereby extending their life.
Sincere condolences to his family and friends.
From USA Today: “Enzi had been hospitalized with a broken neck and ribs after a bicycle accident near Gillette on Friday. He was stabilized before being flown to a hospital in Colorado but remained unconscious, D’Onofrio said.
Enzi fell near his home about 8:30 p.m. Friday, family friend John Daly said, around the time Gillette police received a report of a man lying unresponsive in a road near a bike.”
I really thought i was the only one that heard the same thing 😸🤣
You can’t stop bad drivers from doing their things.
Well, you can but nobody has the guts to implement them.
Don’t lead an unexamined life and learn to care about other people less fortunate than you.
“Peacefully” – the guy broke his neck and ribs
PLEASE SEND A NEW BICYCLE TO SKELETON WOMAN…….THANK-YOU..🇺🇸
This is peacefully compared to all the other crimes committed by you know who, doing you know what.
Republicans will be horrified to learn that the cause of his tragic death was identified following a solemn investigation. Why wasn’t Jim Jordan given an opportunity to screw things up and blame Nancy Pelosi?
It’s hard to imagine a man of his age and girth riding a bicycle. If you say so
I wouldn’t doubt he put in more miles on a bike than those who criticize him for it.
Where is the call for better walking/cycling infrastructure so that motorists aren’t excused for murdering cyclists/pedestrians.
Musical ” Poor Conservatives Under Attac”. Accompanied by Saddest Violin in the World
That’s very sad.
My condolences to everyone who cared for him.
Wyoming has lousy healthcare that’s why he was taken to Colorado
How cool that he was on a bike at his age! Way to go!
