Commentary
A little departure from the norm today…Last summer on my way to Meadow I came
Since that day I’m much more aware, but I can’t say the same for most of the bicyclists I see. I still see them riding down FM41, I still see them wearing all black on a black bike with a light flashing on the front…That’s really not helping those of us who are coming up behind you…Most of all I don’t understand why they don’t ride where there’s a designated lane for them, or at least on East FM 1585 where the shoulder is much bigger. Now in fairness, I have seen those who are trying to at least make themselves more visible with safety vests, and flashing lights on front and back of their bikes, and I’m thankful. But they still choose high traffic roads, why?? I hope at some point the State of Texas changes the law about where our bike friends can ride and makes the roads safer for all of us…I never want to see a bicyclist in a ditch fighting for his or her life, or a driver who was doing everything right and hit a biker…
Let’s all be careful because everything can change in a heartbeat…
