  • I’m on the outside edge of Cincinnati, Ohio. My drive to work is curvy hills with high speed limits and it’s full of landscaping earth hauler trucks as we have three major landscaping companies between my home and work.

    The trucks don’t hit bikers on purpose, there’s just no shoulder, only a ditch on one side. So if they come around a bend and there’s a bike and another big vehicle coming the opposite direction they just can’t stop in time and can’t use the other lane. I’ve never actually seen a bike on my commute in over a decade here except a couple of decorated bikes on the side of the road as memorials and one time I saw a pack of 20 bikes on a group ride.

    I’ve lived in Germany and the Netherlands and bike friendly places in the US so I know what it could be. It’s just not like that here. Fuck all the downvoters. I don’t give a shit about that though, I’m just saying how it is.
