Yikes!
Two cyclists struck and killed yesterday in WI. 
This follows a death in D.C. on Tuesday.
I know we all know it, but be careful out there!

RANT ON
#^&**%^#$*()%#$^%$ !!!!
#^&**%^#$*()%#$^%$ !!!!
1 - Is approx. where this happened.
2 - Is where I was run down buy someone and almost killed three years ago.
(also hit and run! NEVER FOUND)
3 - Is where I ride every day.
These are pictures of that area.
This is what *HELL* looks like where I live and ride:
This is what it looks like where these people were riding.
THESE ARE PICTURES OF *HELL*.
It has NOTHING to do with "being careful", it has everything to do with
cold blooded MURDER.
DO NOT RIDE THESE ROADS. YOU WILL BE KILLED.
RANT stays ON
(I gotta go over there and see if there is a memorial ... I have to add to it).

This has been my favorite place to ride. Farms, cows, corn, tractors.
But obviously also infested with drunken morons.
My crash story from 3 years ago when I was run down just a few miles down the road:

https://www.bikeforums.net/advocacy-safety/146431-crash-pictures.html
It's a beautiful area, but I cannot recommend that ANYONE ride here. Not anymore.
Stay away!
