Being in a rural area, it would be tough. I commuted by bicycle to work for around 15 years but quit due to the traffic in this area. It was only 2.5 miles but a mile of it was on a two lane with speeds of 45+MPH, a blind curve at the entrance of work and a reserve base being built on our property. I really miss it and every time I try it just isnt worth the risk. Morning driversare horrible. I would rather ride in the middle of the night.
I retire in the next ten years and plan on moving, where I am not sure but it will be to an area where I can ride more.
