Watch out for bicycles too.

Thank you to the folks wearing high visibility clothes and having bright lights on their bikes.

You guys can ride your bikes wherever you want. I don't care. However for me...I would not want to put my life in another person's hands. I pick up a good bit of litter and much of what I pick up are beer cans and other liquor based products. There are a lot of people drinking and driving around here. I am always cautious when driving and being on a bicycle I raises the odds. I do not trust my fellow man when it comes to my own life.

Years ago I was out for a walk one night. I was on a sidewalk so didn’t think much of it when a car came along... until something went whizzing past my head. It was too dark to find it but the next day I returned and found a quart beer bottle. Presumably somebody had thrown it at a nearby sign and not at my head.

I'll add that the same applies for motorists... in adverse weather, turn your freaking headlights on for Pete's sake!

Twilight too for that matter. Just because you can sorta see doesn't mean others can see you, especially if you have a dark colored vehicle.

LOL. I was once out or my province and noticed many beer cans at the bottom of a highway sign.
Had to be fellow Quebec's as the had a lot of practice.

Driving south one winter I observed that littering signs increased from $100 locally to up to $1000. further down south.

But then locally any roadside pick-nick tables are chained.
Is that a sign of?
Also BBQ tables!

I just installed a bolt on hitch to my Honda Civic and bought a two bike carrier. My wife and I drove 20 miles to use a very good bike trail. No worries that I would be road kill.

A tiny honda civic?! What kind of suicidal nut are you?! I don't understand how anybody can venture out on the road in anything smaller than an F650. You know, for safety.

I agree with not playing chicken with vehicles and as I said about riding bike I ride a MTB on the road for the very purpose of being able to get all the way into the grass shoulder on the backroads I ride on, but it's your fault you were going to fast and went in the ditch not his.

Nowhere did I say that I was going too fast. I find it odd that you immediately make that assumption yet see nothing wrong with somebody jogging down the centerline of an unplowed road. . You apparently don't know anything about driving in realitively deep snow. Especially in a rear wheel drive vehicle; if you veer into the unplowed portion things don't always go as planned. Often your tires like to stay in the packed wheel track. In this case that track was occupied by an unprotected runner, so I opted for the snowbank instead.

I don't know anything about anything! If you can't stop for an obsticale in the road you're going to fast for the conditions.
