I spend all of my time riding in the Blue Ridge Mountains if North Carolina on the twisty mountain roads.
There are plenty of roads with little to no cross roads or driveways that you have to worry about cars suddenly emerging from. About the only thing I worry about are bicyclists and deer at dusk.
But increasingly I experience an odd phenomenon and I’m wondering if it’s just me.
Today I was behind a truck in very twisty blind curves. The curves are one after another with no turn outs.
The truck stopped just before a blind curve and waved me to pass. Was this a truly kind but mentally challenged soul? Or was he trying to rid the world of a biker by luring me into passing in a very tight blind turn?
It happens all the time. And they act as if I’ve just refused a winning lottery ticket when I choose to forgo the chance to get up close and personal with a car grill.
Am I being paranoid or is this a secret trick for getting rid of bikers?
