Good PSA. When researching the Glacier-Waterton loop I found a CGOB journal written by someone who was riding a regular bike towing a toddler in a Burly trailer. She was forced to ride with part of the trailer in the travel lane because of the width of the shoulder and the rumble strip placement. That was on PR 3 between Elko and Fernie. When I eventually rode that segment I understood the problem.
