[Grovenet] Cycling through Cornelius

[Katie Allnutt]

I was just commenting to my husband on Sunday that it appears that  
they have eliminated the space for a bike lane through Cornelius. I  
hadn't thought about the difficulty for large trucks to turn the  
corners but you are right.

We need to truly take care and watch for bikes all over but now more  
so in Cornelius.
