I hate riding in the streets!
I got back in to riding bikes to keep in shape & having someone run over me while they are texting is counter productive!

Fortunately we have a nice trail system in Tulsa/Broken Arrow area.
I live 2 miles from the entrance to the Liberty trail & that gives me access to the Creek turnpike trail, Mingo trail, Riverparks East trail, Riverparks West trail, Midland Valley trail, Osage Prairie trail, Katy trail & several shorter trails.
Here is a list of the trails in my area.

My current weekday ride is the Riverside East to Midland to the Osage prairie trail which is a 52 mile round trip of mostly flat riding. This ride does have several road crossings most with lights but has a 1 mile section of road that connects the midland to the Osage trail.
My Weekend ride is the Liberty, Creek & Mingo trails, 33 miles but pretty much all hills with only road crossings.
This means fron the trail entrance 2 miles from my house I have access to around 100 miles of bike trails with only road crossings & a 1 mile stretch of road riding.

I spent 28 years as a Firefighter & have ridden M/C since I was a kid so I know what can happen on the streets & am perfectly happy to stay on the trails!
So how about you? How are the trails in your area?
