| Bicycling on the bridge across the Missouri River separating Missouri and Nebraska is another story... it is long and narrow to the extreme. If two 18 wheelers were to pass next to a bicycle on this bridge it would be an unforgettable experience... and would probable necessitate an underwear change on the other side. |
