Be cautious of bicyclists on NTP


The Star Herald

KOSCIUSKO — My husband and I travel the Natchez Trace regularly, driving from Kosciusko to the Walter Washington Parkway near Alcorn State University.

We encounter many bikers (non-motorized) and it seems very unsafe.

Many drivers seem to have no idea of what to do when they approach a biker.

Oncoming traffic is scary because they don’t slow down and seem to want to change lanes.

Many drivers seem to have no experience with bikers and cannot travel bike speed. Be safe. With sunlight flickering, it is difficult to see bikers.

Sincerely,

Bobra Knox
