Re: Help with tricky traffic situation
I agree with Ken that you simply need to take the lane and make it clear that there is no room to safely pass you within the lane.

Re: Help with tricky traffic situation
Hi Ted,
I agree, that's a tricky section of road and I always dread riding through that tunnel. Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience there today.
My approach is to "take the lane," as they say.

Hi Satish,
The FFBC board has not yet reopened the calendar for rides. This is a topic that the board discusses every meeting and, coincidentally, there is a board meeting followed by a club meeting
