Yes, I always get that same unsettled feeling when in remote places on my bike, especially when I smell a dead deer or something nearby.
I had a brother who wound up being one of those unidentified bodies found in the woods by hunters after missing for two months.

It seems from what I am reading that the two bodies in this news story are not likely to have been cyclists. They were wrapped up in sheets, plastic and packing tape and dumped there by the bike path. Probably killed elsewhere and just dumped there. I'm grateful they weren't cyclists murdered for their bikes.
