My bike trail was closed for two weeks in April, 2020, so I rode 2 miles on the 45mph road to get to the next county where it was still open. I stayed well to the right of the shoulder white line, but one day a passing driver came close enough to clip my rear-view mirror. Handlebars went hard right, and I went over them - fortunately landing on a grassy berm. I was uninjured (ok, one small new scar), and my Sam was fine, but the driver didn’t stop or even, as far as I could tell, look in his rear view mirror. But by the amount of red paint embedded in my mirror mount, he’s probably still wondering who “keyed” his car.
The point - in addition to looking out for drivers who don’t think bicyclists should be sharing the road, you also have to look out for the oblivious drivers who don’t seem to be able to keep it between the lines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
