I know some roads are more enjoyable and pleasant to ride on and so does everyone else that rides a bike.
the 'every lane is a bike lane' argument is a fallacy regarding 'traffic parity' in dubious counterpoint to the reality of hostile, bicyclist unfriendly road and traffic conditions.
ahh, I see from your link that this road is a bit more well-travelled than I thought.
Perhaps every avenue of discussion has already been explored and they all come out in the same place- nowhere.
oh, well, it's a torrential Nor'easter and not such a great day for a bike ride- no matter what road I'm on- so I thought I'd run down a few dead ends on the internet superhighway.
