"As her commute put Schill on one of central Kentucky's busiest roads,
WKYT watched as she slowed down lines of cars and trucks by the dozen. Schill says she's been called every name in the book.
"You don't get a thick skin to people wishing you harm," Schill said.
Spurred by complaints from drivers, the Jessamine County Sheriff's Office and Nicholasville
Police have cited Schill three times in the last month for careless driving on her bike. They say riding a bike on U.S. 27 in a lane of traffic puts Schill and other drivers at risk.

This case isn't about cyclists legally and safely using the road, this case is about
one person on a bike creating a problem on those roads on a regular basis. I'm sure other cyclists are using those roads, and apparently without issue as there has been no mention of others creating issues.
Using a public road in a way that draws numerous complaints, citations, and significantly disrupts the flow of traffic is not safe or legal regardless of the method of use.
