I would not let others decide if a house was right for me or not, but if your just curious what others would do that's fine. Personally I'd put privacy and features of the land way above cycling convenience, but I'm not as hard core of a cyclist as many. What I really couldn't stand is a house without a good sunset view from huge living room glass or a porch or something where one could relax with a beer or glass of wine and enjoy natures show. But probably 1% of the population or less even considers an unobstructed westerly view when picking out a house.

Its 55mph road at the end of my driveway. None of the roads around here have shoulders, and some are very narrow (none even have painted lines for many miles from here) and single lane bridges. Luckily they aren't windy with blind corners. The fast traffic does bother me and I avoid the roads if it's at the busy times of day and around sunset. The paved rail trail is about 5 miles away, so in those cases I'll drive there. But most of the time I leave from my house on bike, the traffic is pretty light.
