I think taking advice on where to ride a commute from people who don't actually ride is like taking a sex-education class taught by a nun (or Brian Harradine).
There's a cycle way being constructed along the route that I ride to work. It will be an excellent alternative to the road I take.
A few weeks ago I was cycling along when some yobbos yelled out of their car to me to get on the bike path. At that stage the path only ran for a hundred metres or so. They obviously had no idea of their surroundings. If I caught them at the lights I would have let them know that I fully intend to "get on the bike bike path" in 3 or 4 months when there is one.
