I took a little ride out to Bartlett this morning after breakfast (don't tell Vicki!) and saw scads of bicyclists on the road. The road is two lanes wide, full of blind curves with no room to pull over, no passing zones, and people towing trailers. It is fun on a motorcycle because no one is likely to sneak up on you from behind and the lane is wide enough to share with a bicyclist. It is not a bicycle friendly place, but there they are on every fourth turn.Surprisingly the accident I saw was on a straight-of-way on Carefree Highway. Luckily, there wasn't a need for an ambulance but the paramedics were on the scene. I can't say how to make it safe but it sure makes me nervous to see the mixture of traffic on the road.
