Notice the rumble strips on the left side of the white line. Then notice the distance between the rumble strips  and the gravel. It is about 6 to 8 inches. When I try to ride in that little, tiny, Winnie, narrow strip I am constantantly riding on the rumble strips for fear of going into the gravel and landing on my face. So I choose to ride on the road side of the white line. I ride really close to the white line so it isn’t like I am out in the road, but a number of the cars and trucks honk at me. My thought is, “you ever ride on those rumble strips with a bicycle? Try it then honk at me, you jerk!” Then I confess my poor response and wave politely! One truck laid on the horn for a couple hundred yards as he came up behind me! That will give you a panic attack! I have developed a precise prayer life while riding my bike. “Dear Lord, give me strength, Dear Lord, help me from wrecking in the gravel, Dear Lord, help that driver see well, Dear Lord, a tail wind would be nice, Dear Lord, thank You”.
