Wonder how solo Crawford county cyclists feel about the ban.. Besides the cones, how about a permanent sign warning of the danger. Does not Iowa get around to fixing the problem with the center seam.. Is the center seam issue prevalent through out all of Iowa.. That is certainly unacceptable... Insurance is not for pay outs. Getting insurance is not a solution. Once there's a loss, don't depend upon getting insurance at affordable rates...
Banning cycling through out all of Iowa is no solution.. Under those conditions , I'd be organizing a protest ride.. Can't the seam be filled in some how.. ?..
Lucky many of us don't live in Iowa . About time they fix the problem, if it is fixable. Are all Crawford county roads unusable for cyclists , can't they just ban the affected roads...
Looks like out of state cyclists won't be considering the Ragabi or other Iowa cycling events and will be going else where... Shame , Ragbai is a ride many of us had considered , but appears cyclists are unwelcome in Iowa. So, yes, if Iowa won't fix the problem in the long term; i'd be doing a real protest ride...
