I've taken to turning off the radio and scrutinizing the movements of every oncoming and crossing vehicle on our two lane roads. Pedestrians and bicyclists bear particular attention - a pedestrian was recently killed on a downtown street. As a bicyclist I curse the idiot cyclists who ride in the wrong direction and dart across traffic providing no warning to the driver. Cyclists on 101 are risking injury and death so it's nice to see the Disc Trail extension eastbound coming to fruition. All in all we have a challenging road environment in what is otherwise a fairly remote part of the country. Two lives are here ended in one instant of negligence. Wow.
