I also try to avoid roads without bike lanes, or cut through neighborhoods with less traffic.
In the town where I live there are several roads, two lanes in each direction where the posted is 55 mph. No shoulder. I hate the chance of taking the lane and them not seeing me at all. Not that my being over does anything more than get them to slide over a bit but whatever.
One thing I always think is that these drivers wish they had the moxy to do what we do... Yay us!
