The Gazette offers audio versions of articles using Instaread. Some words may be mispronounced.
Pages are printed about how safe it is to bicycle in rural Iowa. Do these cyclists realize how it affects rural residents? What happened last year in August? The cyclists parked on a narrow road with their big vehicles and trailers. The road turned into a one lane. Are they concerned with their safety and drivers? It also affects mail delivery (like no delivery). Cyclists should be more courteous.
