Roadwork along Transmountain Road isn't just affecting drivers but bicyclists, too, and some triathletes claim it's actually putting them in danger.

"It's really a popular road that a lot of people like to ride," said François Modave.

"With the improvements that TxDOT is doing right now they've actually eliminated any safety that bicyclists have," said Rob Lovett.

Both Modave and Lovett are triathletes who train regularly along Transmountain Road but with two big road projects under way on both ends, they can't train there any more, but said their biggest concern isn't training, but survival.

"It's incredibly dangerous to try and ride your bike on Transmountain right now," said Lovett.

On the west end there are detours, but Modave said bicyclists cut through Resler Drive.

On the east end, bicyclists have no choice but to ride through heavy traffic. The real trouble starts once they actually hit the bike lane along Transmountain Road.

"Going up, there's absolutely no signage to warn you the bike lane is eliminated and once you get up there you realize it's not safe, you could get killed and you don't have anywhere to go," said Lovett.

"The rest of Transmountain is actually rideable, but we have to do that first half-mile or get caught off guard at the end," said Modave.

The concrete barriers are blocking the bike lane in both directions and Modave said there is a simple solution.

"I'd like TXDOT to move their barriers just a couple of feet," he said.

Lovett also had a reminder for drivers.

"We don't take up much space. You got a bicyclist who's on maybe a 10-pound bike with that god awful spandex and has a helmet on with maybe some gloves but that's about it. So please just give us a foot or two when you pass and we'll be good. That's all we need."

KFOX14 contacted the Texas Department of Transportation. TXDOT said they spoke to the engineer in charge of the Loop 375 Transmountain extension project about these concerns. He is now working with the contractor to put up signage to warn bicyclists about detours and closures as well as possibly moving the concrete barriers a couple of feet.
