Default Sure is quiet...

I work 8 floors above I-70 in St Louis and there has been literally NO bike traffic headed west.&nbsp\\; In years past bikes were coming by less than a minute apart.&nbsp\\; Sturgis might be a regional rally this year. &nbsp\\;[]

Did you check the pedestrian traffic? I heard that with the heat issues, all the Throttle woes, the rabid fear of rear end wobbles, and concerns about just when exactly the low fuel light comes on,
Everyone has decided it would be much simpler to walk.
