This was the second bicycle fatality in the Lincoln AL area in two weeks. I am trying to get details, but as you know, we rarely learn enough from these crashes to draw any lessons from them. I did google the road. It's an undivided 55 MPH 4 lane with intermittent shoulders that are in poor condition in most places and chip seal elsewhere.

While researching that one, I found this one.

Again, scant details, but I did come across something that is a peave of mine. The positioning of the rumble strips on this shoulder. If the strips were placed flush against the fog line that would leave a wide rideable portion of the shulder. As it stand the rideable part of the shoulder is so narrow that riders will have to focus pretty closely on not drifting off the shoulder or into the strips. That leaves them paying less attention to the big picture.
