I spoke with someone
who is a very serious cyclist. He said a friend of his was determined to talk to an actual person at Caltrans about the situation on Skyline and was told basically that you must be joking if you think we consider cyclists before we embark on road maintenance.
In other words go pound sand or equivalent.
You know though, that pavement can't be good for cars either and must cut down on gas mileage at the same time.
