Hello from Idaho, land of mountains, deserts, and great potatoes. Long time lurker, newbie poster.
I live in the city of Boise, in the southwest part of the state. I’ve relied on a bicycle as my primary means of transportation for over fifty years, in California, Minnesota, Alaska, and Idaho. Did some road racing in the past, but I’m primarily a utility cyclist now.
Someday I’d like to see what it’s like to ride in Amsterdam or Copenhagen, but here in the car-centric U.S. I have found that traveling on the roadway in accordance with the vehicular rules of the road, and respecting others’ rights to do likewise, is the safest and most efficient way for me to get where I’m going. I hope I live to see the day when America’s pathological infatuation with the automobile is a thing of the past.
