A car traveling 60 miles per hour covers a distance of 88 feet per second. At their widest point the shoulders are 12 feet wide meaning that a driver distracted for less than 1/7th of one second could kill a cyclist. Since Loop 49 is owned by Spain (thanks to Prick Perry) there would be no legal recourse against the landowner. Let them Bike wherever they want, but let it be understood that they are negligent when they pick the shoulder of a hiway to get healthy.
