The Trace around Jackson and Tupelo is most definitely used to get from Point A to B.


There's a gas station near Tupelo/Trace with the best Chicken on a Stick ever. NOM NOM

There is a reason there is a minimum speed requirement on highways. Speed bottlenecks are dangerous, and we shouldn't support artificially created bottlenecks on the road. If you can't go anywhere near the speed limit, GTFO the roads you selfish pricks.

As a mtn bikers, road cyclists are the equivalent to pedestrians on the trails. Know your role in the natural law.

He was not charged with hitting the guy intentionally, as it was alleged.

Most mixed use trails have a speed limit of 15-20mph. Most hikers only go, what, 3-5mph?

So, in this case the mountain biker is like the car on the road, and hikers are the road bike.

Wow, Dean of Students at USN...

I'm sure the administration at Hume Fogg, MBA, and Ensworth are smirking over this.

It's a Parkway. North Oak Hills in Baton Rouge is a Parkway.

What's the point? I thought only interstates had minimum speeds.

Sure, on most trails. Fortunately, I live near MTB priority trails.

Regardless, I'm 250lbs+ with gear going 20mph. I don't yield to a 3mph hiker.

My point isn't that only interstates have minimum speed limits, but rather the safety concept of minimum speed limits and the hazards of speed bottlenecks.

Word. I thought it had to do with minimum speeds.


Random Thought: I really like driving the Trace to look at turkeys and deer and shite. Plus, I drive slow as frick anyhow.

Good to see the use of a camera in the attack. The driver probably thought nobody was around to see and could get away with hitting the rider over.
