Tragedy Waiting

A great site, the silent two wheeled with helmets bobbing through the greenery of the country side. The
singing of narrow tires whispering against the pavement, heading toward a catastrophe. In the dullness
of night fall or in the shining mid day, a vehicle at 60 km. streaming over a hill, below a dozen or more
silent wheels in the middle of the road. Children and all showing their disgust that their moment was
invaded by the sound of a horn, displaying their fingers, maintaining their stance in the center of the lane.
 
Tomorrow, this will end in a tragedy with wheels silenced with blood and tears. The privilege of cyclists on
paved back country roads is becoming as prevalent and as dangerous as deer crossing the highway. Cyclists
need to maintain single file. Moreover, they need to use better judgement as to where they take their breaks
to enjoy their comradeship, the sunrise, or the sunset in the mist of evening. This wonderful adventure is bound
to end in a tragedy of wheels crushed in the middle of a blood bath.
 
These issues are being observed and reported to police but it seem to be overlooked as a minor issue. Are
we all waiting for a tragedy before realistic action is taken. Perhaps, we have arrived at a time when road
sign are need to remind cyclists that they too, have to be responsible?
 
 
 What do you think...?
