Bill - I try to avoid staying behind all trucks which is not always easy, of
course. About 3-4 years ago, I was riding along at a safe distance,
thankfully, behind a pickup with the tailgate up and no noticeable items in
the bed. A gust of wind or something suddenly blew an empty Clorox bottle
right in front of me (hit my boot). I'm sure the bike could handle that if
it slipped under the wheel but it startled me quite a bit and could have
caused a crash had I overreacted.
