At the time I wondered "What if I had been riding my bike?"<br />That's the reason I was a full 2 seconds behind this truck. It ain't enough...<br />Three or four seconds seems like a minumum now, (or pass 'em and eliminate the problem altogether.)Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12452759.post-62816254518064182782011-08-23T05:28:26.017-07:002011-08-23T05:28:26.017-07:00I've had guys on bikes that tailgate a fully l...I've had guys on bikes that tailgate a fully laden utility trailer with and while I did a good job of tying everything down they had NO idea that I had...
