You just can’t fix stupid…
9pm riding a bike in the slow lane of a freeway… something is not right.
242 is a freeway, not a bicycle lane. Even at that, it is dark and cars are going 80 mph.
Bike on 242? Impairment ruled out? Maybe of the driver of the Yukon, probably not the cyclist ….. that area is known for that type though
calling it a slow lane implies the existence of a fast lane
