    Bikes on narrow roads

    Apirl 15 2009. Two log trucks almost had a head on collion. One log truck with logs was swriving around a bike rider.(Both log truck drivers were in the right. There was a passing line marking) (The bike rider was on the white line.) As he was in the incoming line, another log truck was a prouching from around the courner. There was no room for the two logs trucks to pass each other and the bike. They both had to slam on there brakes leaving blue smoke from their tires. I watched this happen in front of my house. If there was a bike line for the bike to ride on the two trucks could of pass with no problems. See the problem is there is no room for a bike to ride out here.  On the other side of Marcola the road narrows.  There is no room for people to pull over for emergency vehicle to pass by. Let alone a bike. If you get into the gravel, you might not get out. We need to pass a bill that bike can only ride on roads that have bike lines. This will help and save everyone life.
