I don't think they're running the TT tomorrow, but I'm not sure I could do it. Jeez, I'm an idiot.
Cripes, that must have been a shock! The local road crews just LOVE to put their signs in the middle of the bike lane on roads where the cars are going >45 mph. In fact, on one video a local cyclist posted to YouTube, that I've been using to fend off boredom while riding the trainer, he encounters just such signs, and because he mounted the GoPro on his helmet, we all get to see him look over his shoulder for cars - not at other cyclists....
But inquiring minds want to know - Did it make a comical *FWANGGG!!!!* sound?
