Default Bicycles on Morris
Last night while traveling on Morris north of 466 there were two brightly painted bicycles parked in the west shoulder about a 1/4 mile apart. Anyone else note this, or know why they were there?

Secret ron-de-vous. Did your spouse go riding on a red bike last night?

There was something going on today, saw several bikes painted all white, and lots of police at roundabouts and various intersections.

There were no riders and the bikes we saw were painted all white. I didn't connect it to the bike club but I bet that is what it was. We know someone who is a long distance rider and he was leaving at 6:30 am today on a 100 mile trip, on his bike. I noticed the lighted & flashing signs today that said "Bicycles 25 mph". They were along Morse and Rio Grande.
