Heh - Ragbrai is a whole nother animal. When you have 20,000 bikes on the road, we take up all 4 lanes all the time, unless a car is coming, which on most days was less than ten (the police maintained the routes very strictly and residents were warned weeks prior). It was so eerie being able to crest a hill and see 1000 riders in front, and another 1000 behind. It was a neverending sea of bikes from 6a-6p.
