My best friend is……left brained.

Tonight he got jiggy with the statistics as he handout out his Halloween treats. I think we can all benefit from his efforts. He lives in New Jersey so I suppose tastes may vary around the country.

I’ve long been a foe of cyclists. Not mountain bikers. Not people riding in their neighborhoods. I’m a foe to the bikers riding streets that are not designed for cyclists. Living in Utah, that means all the mountain roads. Everyone knows there are roads that you can’t ride a bike on. I-15 is a good example. I believe many more roads should be considered off limits. How about State street? I’m not going to fight that one today. Today my beef is the winding mountain roads.

This week I was driving up East Canyon. I was pulling my boat to a reservoir to teach the motor boating merit badge to a group of scouts. I’m such a good guy! As I rode up the canyon I started encountering cyclists riding up the hill. They were mostly in groups of two but there were some singles. I noticed a state sign that said to watch for cyclists. Coincidentally, the radio had an announcement to watch for cyclists.

My question is what in the heck am I supposed to do when I’m approaching a blind curve with a double yellow line and I’ve got a cyclist on my right weaving back and forth. I’m putting up the hill pulling a trailer. I’m not in a Ferrari.

I took a few pics to show my dilemma? This road had dozens of these blind cures not five or six. I also photo-shopped in a rider.

Seriously, what should I do?

I was in Southern California recently. I took this picture of a nice couple sun bathing. I hope he put lotion on the bottoms of his feet.
