hey joerover-- I just drove the whole distance--round trip--bicycles on the highway are creating DANGEROUS conditions--for themselves and motorist---
come around a curve and here they are-- quick swerve to
the left across center - line necessary---
probably better to go to Ireland---

the baja hwy !! LOL..thats funny !!
its a simple fact that the Baja #1 was built for helping the Baja resadents ...not for bikes !! never was in the picture and bikes on this road are a
danger to all !!! no one wants to hit a bike !! and no one wants to get hit because of a stupid bike....SO any FOOL that rides a bike on this narrow
road puts all in dire straits...simple fact of life !!!

You obviously dont live down here.
If you did, you'd know that the locals, who really dont have to have any training in driving or pass any real tests to get their licenses, are much,
much worse drivers that ANY Nomad. And that's when they are sober.
Then, there are the safety issues with the cars they drive; bald tires, failing brakes, lights out, failing clutch, tailpipe smoke screen, cracked
glass, no side view mirror, and on and on..............
The fastest drivers in my neck of the woods are all locals as well, doing 2-2.5 times the posted speed limit in town. Not all of them speed like this,
mind you, but the ones who do are almost always sporting Sonora plates.
But I understand your knee-jerk reaction to a few people on the board. I think their antipathy towards bicycle riders is probably overexaggerated on a
message board. Otherwise, we would have heard about more bicyclists being killed by the Deadly Nomad Driver.

You can't post here unless you are "a Nomad"! LOL
Some of you who think the part of Hwy. 1 made in 1973 was done so to serve bike riders, really need a reality check. Nobody should die or have a
conflict with others on the highway, there are just parts where being an un-motorized user is just dangerous to everyone. Use the parallel dirt roads
down Baja, for safety and for more enjoyment of Nature!
Read the post on Talk Baja (Facebook) about the nine killed and I believe the cars that hit the bike riders were Mexican, not American or Canadian
Baja Nomad members?

Close Calls keep Cyclists on their Toes
Reminding them of the laws of physics and their mortality.
Those near-misses are, therefore, a Public Service !
It was interesting that a post-New Year's L.A. Times article on the new laws in California featured a photo of a bunch of Bicyclists.
Overflowing both sides of their Bicycle Lane.

Because bike riders have equal rights to use the road.
The person causing the danger is the person driving too fast.
The better question: why are you driving too fast?

Ask any highway expert... slow drivers are responsible for more accidents!
http://www.motorists.org/speed-limits/faq
Q. Isn't slower always safer?
A. No, federal and state studies have consistently shown that the drivers most likely to get into accidents in traffic are those traveling
significantly below the average speed. According to research, those driving 10 mph slower than the prevailing speed are more likely to be involved in
an accident. That means that if the average speed on an interstate is 70 mph, the person traveling at 60 mph is more likely to be involved in an
accident than someone going 70 or even 80 mph.
HIT THE GAS!!!

The only people causing unsafe conditions are drivers that drive too fast and therefore are unable to stop for rocks, slow vehicles, animals, bikes,
and potholes. You drivers should slow down and pass slower traffic only when safe to do so. Why is it so hard for some of you to understand that?

I've been practicing 60 years to be a lousy driver. Probably kill a few people soon.
