Cross-country bikes are designed with steep head tube angles, making them efficient for climbing but less forgiving when descending fast. This design feature offers little margin for error, increasing the risk of crashes and injuries.
Using light-thin tires and riding a cross-country bike involves calculated risks in the pursuit of speed. Gwendalyn Gibson's crash and subsequent collarbone injury highlight the consequences of pushing the limits in this sport.
