Bypass Survivor Dies After Completing Cross-Country Bike Ride
Anderson, IN -- A cycling enthusiast's "trip of a lifetime" turned out to be his last.
One day after finishing a cross-country bike ride, he died of a heart attack.
The 57-year-old (Broc Bebout) had pedaled from California to Georgia. He was stricken Thursday on the drive back home to Indiana. A fellow rider says an ambulance arrived within minutes, but he couldn't be saved.
His wife says bicycling had brought her husband nearly 20 years of good health after he had quadruple-bypass surgery at age 39.
She says for him, the cross-country ride was "a trip of a lifetime." In her words: "We all have a list of things we like to say we did." For him, she says, "that was right up there at the top."
