Attention all bikers
5 bicyclists killed, 4 injured after truck hits group on 'retirement ride' in Nevada

Friday morning on north on BV, at ST Charles gate, there were maybe 8 riding in the right hand lane, about 18mph. I gave them plenty of lead room, and moved to the left lane. Soon as I changed lanes, riding in the left hand lane, about 6 more riders.

I guessed they were passing the slower group, and followed at a safe distance so they could pass, and move over. Nope riders stayed at same pace as the other riders, just a little ahead of other group, taking up both lanes.

All seems to be enjoying, the ride, and chatting away. Following them along with the line of cars behind, past Glenview. Sometimes you wonder if some should be out by themselves.

Now if they would ride on Odell circle at that speed they could slow down FedEx and UPS trucks

As far as I can tell, the only lesson to learn from this story is that roads are dangerous places. They are even more dangerous if you are driving in a small vehicle, and even more dangerous if you are riding a bike.

Unfortunately I do believe there is an "attitude" factor.....by many bikers (and drivers too).
