Hey everyone. For you long-islanders out there I have a question. I know that alot of cyclists seem to think merrick road is a pretty perilous road to ride, but I've also noticed quite a number of cyclists riding on it recently. Now I know that the only other option along the south shore of the island is sunrise hwy, which I have ridden on part of before. It was fine because that particular section had a shoulder, but i know there are sections which have no shoulder, and I would hate to be riding in a lane of traffic with cars doing 50+ right next to me. So I was wondering, how actually is Merrick road? Since I'm from queens, I'm used to riding on heavily trafficked roads with no shoulder and shariing the lanes with cars, which is basically what merrick road is like. Or is Sunrise a better option? Thanks in advance.
