I'm pointing out the risk of big bunch rides compared to the gain they
give you.
At no point did I suggest a correlation/connection between the
accident and traffic. Big bunch rides are much more dangerous than
riding in a small group and I question the benefit of being in one.
And it looked like about 12 riders to me, but in the half light, maybe
it was less.
