The part of speech reflects that used in the full entry, and not necessarily the part of speech as it is used in the quotation below.
Quotation: There are reasons why a cyclist might ride “in the middle of the road.” Cyclists don’t always ride right next to the edge of the road for several reasons: a) glass, gravel, potholes, sewer grates, etc., on the side of the road, b) cars nosing out of blind driveways, c) parked cars along the side of the road (it’s no fun to be somebody’s door prize).
