Bicycle Lanes and Parking Big Rigs: Truckers Sharing the Road / Bus Drivers Sharing the Road

Short link to this post: http://bit.ly/BigRigsBikes

Bicycle lanes are for…bicycles! And a big rig driver who is a parking pro—like the Reliable Carriers professional below— knows how to park their truck (or bus) in a way that doesn’t intrude on bike lanes.

Wherever you ride, when you see a truck or bus whose driver is mindful of sharing the road with bicycles, please let them know they’re appreciated. Post a photo on social media, with the hashtag #TruckerSharingTheRoad (or for buses, hashtag it #BusDriverSharing the Road). If it’s a commercial vehicle, add a hashtag for their company name too, so their employer will more likely notice as well.
