After a close call with a transport truck, a Windsor cyclist is pushing for bike lanes on Rhodes Drive.
Heather Pizzuti was riding her bike home from work on Friday when a transport truck came within inches of swiping her and this isn't the first time.
"I was passed by a transport truck with another transport truck attached to the back of it and this truck didn't move over at all and came within 10cm of hitting me," she says.
"There is no doubt in my mind that if I would have been hit by that truck, I would have been dead."
She is concerned that the road is in an industrial area with high traffic volumes.
Rhodes Drive is located in ward 9 and she wants other cyclists to email or call Councillor Hilary Payne demanding bike lanes be installed.
"Some people don't have cars," she says. "This is a very high traffic area because of the nature of the businesses in that area, there are a lot of transport trucks, cement trucks, work trucks and tractors that go through there."
She spoke to the trucking company's business who confronted the truck driver and the driver said he didn't see the bike.
Pizzuti says she spoke with Councillor Payne who told her, there isn't a "big enough need" for additional bike lanes.
