Patrick: Cluelessness is in ample supply here in Sacramento as well. I’m seeing a lot of people on bikes that 1) look like they’ve been in the garage since the 1990s or 2) look brand-new. In either case, they’re piloted by people who are too often sadly lacking in the skills that are needed on the very busy bike trail on the American River. This includes basics like being aware of what’s happening around you and checking before wobbling onto the trail. I had to brake and swerve to avoid a guy who was steering with one hand while he was looking at a cell phone held in the other. He did not look at all before veering toward the middle of a narrow pedestrian bridge.
Add to this the children who probably haven’t been on the bike trail before and you have the makings of a very stress-inducing day on the bike. Another local cyclist described the situation in San Francisco, where the popular cycling spots are overrun, but many roads otherwise clogged with cars are now almost car-free and quite enjoyable. He recommended heading for the latter while the cars are still gone. --Eric Norris campyonly...@me.com www.campyonly.com campyonlyguy.blogspot.com > On Apr 27, 2020, at 10:29 AM, Patrick Moore <bertin...@gmail.com> wrote: > > plain old cluelessness -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
