Default Bicycle Infrastructure and Safety: Death in PDX

yeah. The inside truck move is danegrous, tobe avoided...in a van...Europa/Mini...bicycle ? points for the trucker-no pints for the cyclist.

The Ford van's mirrors are concave. Concave collect max light. Wanna see a AAA sunset ? use the mirrors.

And a hemispherical mirror set into the concave...at your eye level soas yawlm doahn need to make 2 eye motions to see what...and practice or warmup before going thru LA. The concaves brin gpassing vehicles close to the van body when the passers are in 'reality' several feet further away. Is jumpy

A solution I use is a TV camera from Audiovox. Itsa backup camera....the market was flooded at Sonic Electronix and Crutchfield. The backup without radar is a super camera moubatble on the passengers side pointing front for Baja's narrow MEX 1 or backward or down for mountain driving caws

THE SWITCHBACK INSIDE IS UNSEEABLE Impossible and treacherous.

NEVER PASS A TRUCK CLOSE IN. The deal with a van even is pull ahead so the truck sees you or stay behind.

That's truck courteasy. Truck goes first. Always. Global Warming.
