The bumper which was the first contact came off about 20 yards east of the point of impact. He was traveling east to west on top of the Bike Path the same direction the car is pointing at a high rate of speed. For that car to launch itself over the small sea wall and carry another 100 yards past where it went over the sea wall, he had to be going 40 - 50 mph as a good guess. That's 40 - 50 mph on a 9' wide bike path lined with 3' square concrete trash cans most probably at night. Go figure.

Maybe he was tired of paying way too much for name brand bike shorts, and severely overpaying for waterproof (but not very breathable) jackets and decided to end it all right there on the wrong side of the tracks? That seems a lot more plausible to me.
