@nbcnewyork: A 71-year-old man fell off his bike and died Monday morning after he ran into an off-leash dog in Central Park. Police said the cyclist was riding through the park just after 8 a.m. near East 84th Street — not far from The Metropolitan Museum of Art — when a dog ran out into the roadway. The two collided and the impact threw the man off his bike and onto the pavement, where he smacked his head. Medics transported the cyclist, who was wearing a helmet, to Cornell Hospital but he did not survive. The area is known to be a busy one for cyclists, but visibility can also be tough for cyclists rounding the curve where the incident occurred.

That sucks. You stay healthy for 71 years and you were currently being active and THIS is what takes you out. Life can be cruel.

As a dog owner, I'm so sick of dog owners who find every reason not to keep their dogs leashed.

I have a dog and I hate when people have their dogs off of leashes. I don’t care how they act at home there’s no reason for them to be off leash outside

He didn’t hit a dog; a dog knocked him over.

As a dog owner there should be charges filed. This is unacceptable. I don’t care how good your recall is.
