Ride my bike in Reynosa?

Well, let me put it you this way: there’s a twenty mile stretch just south of Reynosa that locals refer to as the “Death Highway”.  The road is windy, the lanes are narrow, and the drivers can be reckless.  At one point, the road climbs sharply up the side of a hill and descends just as rapidly.  Venturesome motorists often fly over the hump and are unable to regain control upon landing.  On either side of the incline are three roadside crosses.  To my count, there were about a dozen more scattered along the road.   

So do I ride my bicycle through Mexico? Hell no.
