You would be blown away by the amount of bicyclists that are out riding on remote rodes. Quite often, these roads have NO SHOULDERS... sometimes not even a fog line. I'll come around a corner and be just seconds from disaster. I don't think they realize that they are taking a huge risk. If I'm ever confronted with the option of either taking out an oncoming car or taking out a bicyclist... the biker will die. I will NOT be able to get stopped.
