Agreed. But it does have good shoulders, plenty of riders, and a straight path back and forth with a couple of hills. I have been going through the Cold Spring Harbor lab - out the back and down into Oyster Bay. Well worth it to see the view of Cold Spring, the buildings, and the hill coming out of it in back. Great, quiet roads and great hills.
