Molly Glynn's Husband Sues Forest Preserve Disctrict

Come on. That storm was forecast. I was going to ride that day and skipped it due to what I saw on the radar. People need to take a little responsibility and plan for what mother nature dishes out. The FPD does lots of pruning, but trees fall during storms. That's why you don't go out riding in high winds.

Well said. Thank you.

Thank you both.

Regardless of our thoughts on the lawsuit, this is a tragedy where a person lost her life much too soon doing something we all love at a location where I have ridden a zillion times over the years. In hindsight we can all question decisions we made or decisions others made. That can include the decision to go outside and get on a bike, take legal action, cross the street, give money to somebody holding a homemade sign, eat that last piece of pizza or...label the victim. When that decision does not have the tragic consequence that it had for Molly we can take a deep breath, ask ourselves whether we learned anything and move on.

Well he is obviously a ableist, heman, womanhater.

I'll mirror the vast majority of responses that it is a tragedy and could have potentially have been avoided had she not been riding. But despite that she was but an accident like this has nothing to do with the FD and all do with nature being nature. The wind pushed, the tree pushed back, the wind won and Molly was unfortunately in the way. IMO nothing more nothing less.

Perhaps instead of suing her husband and lawyer can start a fund that help aid in faster identification and removal of old and dangerous trees such as this one.

Great, let's make sure the next 3 pages of this discussion are about "Reboot Oxnard."

That would be a positive way to remember her.
