It’s a reminder to Quad Cities Bicycle Club member Cynthia Bottrell to refresh on rules of the road for both bikers and drivers. She’s been riding with the club for over 30 years and she’s very familiar with the different trails and roads around the Quad Cities. Bottrell saying, “I’ve been riding for a long time, all kinds of places and ways. Experienced people know which roads are good for riding.”
