cycling, fatalities

 A 53-year-old man found dead in the parking lot of the Landmark Credit Union Sunday morning suffered severe head injuries when he crashed a motorized mountain bike, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner’s report.

Two passers-by found Gerald Faken straddling the handle bars of a Mongoose bike outfitted with a 36-volt electric motor. He apparently crashed into a cement wall in the parking lot, 9515 W. National Ave.

Faken lived in the 2000 block of S. 96th St. and had been drinking with a friend there on Saturday night. He was found about 5:30 a.m. Sunday.

  2. Why doesn't it mention if he was wearing a helmet?

  3. "severe head injuries" - a good sign that he didnt have a helmet on - or strapped on at least.

  4. Java58 - the Medical Examiner's report did not mention a helmet.
    They did find a baseball cap, with blood on it, near the body.
