Drivers need to provide enough space when passing a bicycles. Slow down and move into the opposite lane. I cannot count the number of close calls I have had.
I agree. Traffic needs to slow, look, and enought texting. I have put on a lot of miles and have seen to many people not looking and texting on there phone. Let’s all be safe out there and enjoy the space. Jeff
I love the trails in Sheldon. Let’s just share the roads!
Has there been any follow up to this? Is the bicyclist okay? What about the driver of the pick up?
