With the wide shoulders, Interstates in the west are pretty easy to travel on. Besides they don’t always have fast traffic.
While in Nebraska, the pre-game show from Lincoln came on for the Cornhusker football game. During the pre-show they cutaway to traffic a couple of times on I-80 heading to Lincoln. The freeway was backed up, moving at about 10 mph. During one of these cutaways, they showed a cyclist passing all the red cars and trucks on the interstate. The sportscasters then blamed the cyclist for the traffic slowdown, by clamming that the cyclist had caused all the football fans to rubberneck.
But wait I was sure I saw the cyclist passing everyone else, so who was slowing who down?
