Mountain biker dies after downhill fall in the south of Spain
With mountain biking being such a popular sport in and around Alcoy we thought we would point out to enthusiasts that it can be dangerous as well.
Emergency Services in Andalucia have confirmed the death of a 28-year-cyclist after an accident while attempting a steep descent on a trail in southern Spain.
The 112 emergency control centre said the cyclist was on a downhill section of a trail near the town of San Roque (Cadiz) when he lost control and fell.
Paramedics rushed to the scene at 1.15pm on Sunday but were unable to revive the man.
