This happens regularly during my commutes but this morning it was sooo blantant . . . I was riding along my usual busy stretch of roadway all alone. Just me and a kinda sucky headwind on the nice wide shoulder. This went on for over a mile, NO TRAFFIC, yeah! As soon as I hit a construction zone, no shoulder, lots of rocks/sand and three inch drop offs, here comes a steady stream of logging trucks, delivery trucks, cars you name it. Why does this always happen? It's just got to be that Murphy's Law thing! bikerHen
