So sad... I guess the truck driver couldn't "hit the brakes" in time?
Old Hwy. 1 (without paved shoulders) is not safe for bicycles!

Sounds like it occurred at night and there was another vehicle on the left, or the other vehicle swerved into the left lane (not sure). The trucker
hit the bicyclist and then couldn't find him in the dark so he drove on and called his boss once he got to San Bruno. At least that's what I think it

the road room to move
I drove down and back in the last two weeks and had to deal with folks on the two wheel bikes 7 times.
The part that really bothers me is the adjustments and road driving I had to do. In the corners, the adjustment in road to miss,
[THIS IS WHERE THE PROBLEM TAKES PLACE] that these crazy folks, that put on the people traversing the Hyw 1 . They are indifferent and careless
about the other people that drive the Hyw. Its all about them and their freedom to do what they think is owed to them.. I will not drive off the
highway to save a bike.

Do you feel the same about the cyclists in the States? I know there are some very narrow, windy roads near Grass Valley with a lot of cyclists.

A road that is not safe for a bicycle is not safe for a bicycle no matter what country it's in.

Goat, you have no idea of the reality. Your posts are .....
If you go around the corner at 35 miles an hour, is that to fast. Tell me with your knowledge base. 35 is that too fast? How about 25 miles an hour?
Is that ok? You do not know me or most people on this board. You have no idea of speed into a corner because your not there..... IT HAPPENS and there
is some stupid person on a bicycle with head phones on listing to the TUBES....
Dude, its not about speed... its about what happens in a tight corner with a tractor truck on your ass.. and HERE is this person that wants to DIE
and a truck coming at you from the other direction..
You ever been there? I think not

Narrow roads without bicycle lanes. It's not rocket science.

Seriously Zac?
Would you tell your children this road is safe for them to ride bikes on?

Looks like it would be easier to pass a bicyclist than a boat to me. Thanks for hammering that point home David.

Couldn't the point be made the road is too narrow to tow that boat? Or drive the 35 ft rv? I stated long ago that I've ridden thousands of miles and
would not ride on that highway primarily because of statements made by many on this board.
I'm curious if those that are whining about the inconvenience of the cyclists are doing the speed limit? I kind of doubt it. David, do you drive the
posted speed limit?
It could just as easily be a cow versus a bike on the blind curve....
