In 15 miles there are no bike lanes, no shoulders, and very few sidewalks that would be extremely dangerous to ride continuously at 15+ MPH on.

I will forever speak out against unsafe cycling facilities, especially those deemed "safe" by politicians and so-called designers, when in fact they put cyclists in more danger to inattentive motorists when they use them - the worst of which being 2-way separated cycle tracks when there are numerous street crossings and driveways where motorists cross the cycle track.
