I live in a rural area with a busy, curvy two-lane highway that has no shoulder, poor visibility around curves, very few legal passing sections, head-on sunlight at certain times of the day, wild turkeys, coyotes, rabbits, squirrels, foxes, and the occasional stray dog or loose cow (hitting a cow with a car will kill all!). Some insane people ride their bikes on this highway morning, noon, and at dusk (when eyesight is poorest due to lack of contrast). They don’t wear bright colors, don’t have flashing lights, don’t have mirrors, and don’t care that the cautious drivers who have to wait for a safe place to pass with safe distance are putting their own safety at risk because of other drivers not seeing the hazard, or being willing to pass on a blind curve. Sometimes I think the bicyclists have no loved ones, because if they knew the risks they were taking regularly for that ride, they would try to talk them out of it. I’m terrified just running across the highway after looking both ways 10 times because people are driving 70-80mph through a lightly populated area with a 55mph speed limit (and no we can’t get the speed reduced because of California’s idiotic 85th percentile rule). Look it up; it’s too stupid to explain here. CalTrans traffic engineers deserve a special level in Hell. I’m happy with safe bike and ped lanes if they don’t create more automotive congestion!
