Distracted drivers have become a HUGE issue to MC riders in the last decade & was a factor in me hanging up my helmet. I had become increasingly concerned about being ghosted by a 17-yo girl that might be texting “LMFAO” to a girlfriend with me in the wrong place/wrong time.

My cousin has 6 bikes and lives on a farm in the middle of the country. He rarely rides anyplace with traffic for this reason. He likes deserted two lanes in the middle of nowhere these days and by comparison twenty years ago he used to ride all over the country. Not any more.

I notice that every time I ride and its very discouraging. I don't know about the rest of the country but I see more and more cable barriers going up as well. Guard rails looked bad enough but the cable barriers look like something out of a Vincent price Horror movie. Grass mowing season is fixing to start too and people will start blowing heaps of cut grass onto the street (usually in a curve) for MC riders to navigate through.
