The Hills Bikes vs. Cars

I travel by bike or car passing through the sacred training grounds between

skyline and 30 often, and have always heard the complaints of my four

wheeled friends. In the name of objectivity I patiently listen to them rant

about cyclists and the hazard they create for drivers descending these

narrow winding and steep corridors. Don't shoot the messenger but they have

a point . I personally witnessed many fellow obraites training this week and

came to this conclusions. I love to ride group and in pairs enjoying the

repartee of being able to have dialogue while training or just out for the

sites. But listening for approaching traffic and merging or yielding

accordingly is not only good road courtesy it will save your life. So climb,

enjoy the beauty of these landmark trails, just keep in mind until the US is

ready for a car free society finding harmony between cyclist and a multi ton

potential weapon is critical BE SAFE OUT THERE. PS KEEP IN MIND THIS ADVICE
