Those tractors are so small it is hard to spot them, being silent and
fast lets them sneak up too.

A bicyclist suffered “significant” injury when he crashed into a farm
tractor during a bike race Saturday on a rural road.

Seems that racing cyclists are an especial nuisance to everyone the
world over.

At a curve in the road, some westbound bicyclists veered into the
opposite lane.

"The bicycles hit the farm tractor," “The farmer was in the correct
lane and the road was open to the public."

One cyclist crashed nearly head-on into the tractor

“Unfortunately, it is held on roads that are open to the public,” he
said. “Every year we get something of this nature,” referring to downed
cyclists or conflicts with vehicular traffic.

You would think that the locals would remember and just say no.
