Knowing rural Clark County drivers all too well, I'd like to suggest that they would find encountering cyclists less bothersome and frightening if they would drive at the, ah, posted speed limit. Yes, Mark, I'm buying myself a BTA membership next month.

I know alot of people who have ridden for years who have yet to find a weekend ride that would have designated bike lane's for ALL 100 miles. His time and effort constructing the letter would have been better spent addressing the fact that there are not enough bike lane's for many of the roads traveled. His potential road-rage may have been caused by 30 seconds of inconvenience for having to wait and pass a group of riders. I'm sure being late to his ELKS club meeting or anger management classes is more important then the minor delay he has experienced in the past.

I think it is ridiculous and foolish to see bicyclists ride on roads like "The Washougal River Road" and any road such as that. It is not only dangerous to the bicyclists, but hazards to the automobiles, too. There are many other safer places for bicyclists to ride and are designated just for bicyclists. I believe it should be outlawed for bicycling on roads, unless otherwise permitted too. Many other people will vouch for me, I know as a fact. We should be able to stand up and know what is right and what is wrong. Driving your bicycles on dangerous roads is very wrong! Just as it would be for a mother to walk her baby alongside a dangerous road! You would be risking your lives and the people around you trying not to hit you as they come around a corner and hit the vehicle in the other lane. That is one of many examples. On the other hand, the automobile that does not see a bicyclist and kill the bicyclist. I do hope that people will hear me out and make this happen. I do not like to see innocent people get killed or hurt in accidents that we can correct ourselves. J.R. Williams Washougal --------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- ------------------------------ As a resident of the area and an active rider of Washougal River Road, I know that many OBRA members also enjoy this ride. Throughout the year I see various team riders as well as individuals enjoying this particular road. I have also been informed that this years Camas road race will also be taking place on a portion of Washougal River Road. I know that rebutting these opinions is like banging your head agains the wall... it only feels better when you stop. But, as a glutton for punnishment, I plan to follow up on this issue and encourage anyone else with a strong opinion to do the same.
