The mix of cars and bicycles on the road to Mount Diablo has long been a dangerous combination but the situation is improving thanks to the innovation of some local cyclists.
Rick Edmondson knows the dangers of cycling on Mount Diablo all too well. In December, the Danville resident rounded a corner and collided head on with an oncoming car that was completely in his lane and Rick ended up in a ditch on the side of the road.
It's been a problem for a long time. Cars trying to pass slow-moving bikes on blind curves swerve into the opposing lane, right into the path of other cyclists. So, some members of a group called Mount Diablo Cyclists began pushing for a fix and, in 2014, they came up with an idea. "They only exist on this mountain. What you see here was created here," said Kalin. "I have been contacted by other states. They're curious: 'What is a bike turnout and how does it really work?'"Shima Sakata rides an e-bike and says the emergence of power-assisted bicycles is making the trek up Diablo possible for a lot more people.
