Suburban riding (at least around the commercial areas where everyone is flying down the road and swerving into shopping centers) is the worst.
I agree totally. The worst stretch I encounter is suburban 40mph, non shoulder or bike lane with most vehicles wanting to exceed 45-50mph. I'm constantly watching the rear-view mirror. Downtown is almost therapeutic in contrast.
