## Resource

A terrifying crash on Ballantyne Lane where a mother narrowly avoided hitting her daughter after her bike tire snagged a gravel shoulder has reignited the urgent conversation about cycling safety. Riders like Don Grijalva warn that scenic backroads, especially those with high speed limits and narrow shoulders, are fraught with hidden dangers — from potholes to debris. Cyclists often ride close to the white line for visibility, but that’s where the real risks lie. Experts suggest marking hazardous zones with bright paint until repairs are made, while drivers and riders alike must share responsibility: drivers should slow down and watch for cyclists, and riders must stay alert. Officials say they’ll investigate and consider safety upgrades as cycling grows in popularity. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
