i live in a better neighborhood for riding now, but these statistics dont surprise me at all.

florida hates the environment, and their idea of progress is building high speed roads, no mass transit, no emission inspections, motor boats in freshwater, and 0 bike lanes.
What roads are you taking in Daytona that are 50MPH? Nova ,ISB or Williamson the main issue is you do not know the area well enough I think there is tons of side roads and neighborhoods to cut through which make riding in this area great. There is always a better way. The main roads are full of tourist and people to old to drive anyway!
