There are roads that are simply not safe for bicyclists.


If that were the case I'd slow my driving down so that I didn't outdrive my line of sight. My experience tells me there can be any number of hazards around a blind bend. Driveway entrances where someone may be pulling out. Mailboxes where a mail carrier is stopped. Stalled vehicles. Tractors. Fallen trees. Livestock. Wild animals. The list goes on. I have a choice as a motorist. Drive at a speed that allows me to react, or drive with negligence. I choose the former.
