Bicyclists in Kansas during wheat harvest is about the most dangerous sport I have ever seen. Highway 96 seems to be the worst. They ride in packs headed east right when harvesters are hauling 14 foot wide combines 50-60 MPH down the same road. And there are a bunch of them. A person can easily see 25 trucks with combines on them every hour on 96 during the heat of harvest, and these cyclists are peddaling along amongst them with seemingly not a care in the world!

When I'm hauling a combine and come up over a little hill and suddenly find myself behind them when I'm meeting traffic, what am I supposed to do? Can't stop on a dime, can't pass them. If the right wheel of the combine hits them it's sure death to them and very likely their families will sue me for all I'm worth. I'm sure they smell the brake smoke when trucks go around them. Maybe they think trucks are supposed to smell that way. I'll bet none of them make a living trucking!!!! Jim
