    You go, Mimi! I'm really interested to hear what's going to come of this!

    I called the other company, and a very concerned woman listened to my story and asked if I would send her a letter describing what happened because;
    "coming from me, it's nagging" she said "coming from you they will take it more seriously"

    So i am writing a letter now.

    I wonder if there is a law against harassment of this nature. Something like reckless endangerment come to mind. Thanks for persuing this. It makes the road a little safer for the rest of us.

    Yes, there is a law. I wonder if I have done the right thing contacting the owners and not law enforcement. I cc'd my letter to an attorney who is a bicyclist and a member of our club. We'll see if he has any comments.

    If you haven't already, keep records of everyone you talk to (ask them to spell their names -- that lets them know in a hurry that you mean business), time and day, and what they say. Later you may want the details and if necessary can turn them over the record over to law enforcement. I don't know in this case that it will be helpful, but it's a good habit to start.

    Hey Mimi --

    Just reading over this thread (I hate gravel trucks...they're pretty nice here, though). I'm curious of whatever happened after they got your letter?
