Lyon County authorities are again asking drivers and cyclists to observe the rules of the road as Biking Across Kansas exits the area Friday.
Lyon County Undersheriff John Koelsch tells KVOE News a cyclist was struck by a van mirror near Kansas Highway 99 and Road 140 about a mile south of Emporia on Thursday. The cyclist declined medical treatment afterward. The van driver was cited for improper passing of a cyclist, giving less than three feet of distance between the vehicles.
About 600 cyclists from across the country are part of Biking Across Kansas this year.
