I know what you mean. Most of my riding is in the adjoining county, which is the least populated in the state and still has no traffic lights. I can go 60 miles without putting my feet down. On an average 25 mile ride I might be passed by half a dozen cars. There is commuter traffic in the after work period, but driveways are far enough apart that it's never an issue. I didn't ride when I bought this house, but feel very lucky I chanced into some of the best riding roads that can be found anywhere
