Yeah, her husband died a few days later, I think. There have been MANY people miss that curve over the years. They could paint a little skull and crossbones for each one on the wall, but I doubt it would make anyone more careful.
It is not only that curve that is dangerous; the woman on the bike that died the same weekend ran a stop sign and got broadsided. Not being careful and thinking that because its "only" a bike or moto makes it not as dangerous as driving a car in Mexico is crazy.
It seems many tourists leave their brains at home when they go on vacation in Cozumel. The way some of them ride their rental bikes, wobbling all over the place and stopping with their feet because they forgot how to brake, makes it is clear they don't ride a bike regularly at home. Dodging traffic in Cozumel is much differenton than riding a bike path in a park or a quiet neighborhood. And the people who haven't been on a moto in twenty years (or more) think nothing of getting on one (with their wife or girlfriend on the back) and riding in traffic in an unfamiliar Mexican town.
By the way, the rules for the old road on the east side have changed. Now, the old road next to the water is ONLY for bicycles; no more motos. They cops are ticketing motos that drive on it. On the old highway on the west side, south of El Presidente, the goofy rule of "one-way southbound for cars and one-way northbound for bikes and motos" stayed the same.
