Yup. Western is a street I just plain don't ride on. No matter what. Just look at how many of those white memorial/ghost bikes are chained up along Western. Many bikers have died on that road. I also don't ride on Ashland. Basically any 4 lane road - I just don't do it. Especially Western and Ashland because drivers do 40+ mph at all times pretty much. I get so p1ssed off when I see bikers on those streets. It's so unsafe and IMO should just not be done. There are always alternate routes.
