There are places along Hwy 71 where these rumble strips are 6 inches or more into the bike lane. They also seem wider and deeper than most rumble strips?

WHAT I would like to know is what are you doing on the rumble strips? A bicycle is supposed to be thought of as A motor vehicle and considered as such while following the same rules as such. With that said why are you not in the lane where you are supposed to be?

For your information A bike is motorized the person peddling is the motor.And if people such as yourself would care to take the time to learn some of the rules in regards to this you would know that the same goes for A horse or A farm tractor. Another question I have is do you do you also belive that you are not supposed to walk against traffic? The majority of accidents can be avoided if people would take the time to know and follow some basic safety rules.

if thats the case then I guess we need to start making you people put a license on YOU MOTORIZED BIKE!!!!! Until then, if you don’t like the road you are using for free since no gas is required to make it move, stay off it…

Oh and by the way, go to the entrance to the heartland trl, take someone along that can read and read what the sign says about motorized vehicles. It says none allowed.
Do bicycles use that trl!!!!!!! If so, they better stay off as you said, they are motorized..
