I read the article and what I don't get is why would you even bike on the highway?? to me that's suicidal when the average car speed is 100km/h (90km/h posted).
In Toronto bicycles are prohibitied on all 400 series highways and that's only 10km/h more in speed limit postings. All you need is one inattentive driver and that's it. The country road beside it is much safer with much less cars so they can concentrate on seeing cyclists more instead of other cars zooming with you, even though the road is gravel I'd rather switch to a cyclocross bike to be on the safe side since your life is worth more than all the training in the world.
