A passing pickup truck straddles the center divider while sharing the road with bicyclists on Mandeville Canyon Road
in Brentwood, where a local resident allegedly slammed on his brakes in front of two bicyclists, injuring both seriously,
on July 4. "Sometimes motorists don"t know how close they are," says Marco Fantone of the Velo Club LaGrange
cycling organization. (Photo: Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times) Link to Story
