I found a great route leaving from my house with only minimum traffic, but the couple of miles before turning is super busy and nobody pays attention. They pose a hazard to me when I'm driving, just as when cycling, only the consequences increase for me.

Sadly, every bicycle hit here is a hit and run. First they had to look up from the phone, then they had to get lost to avoid getting in trouble!

Human staring at cell phone is a sign of the times and is only going to get worse. Auto makers won't sell cars that lock out cell signals because the Neanderthals won't buy them, but they will make the car "drive itself" to an extent to allow you more freedom with your phone.

I recently had a large steel cage fall off the back of a pickup when he went into the other lane to pass. I heard the crash and looked back to see a 4'x4' cage rolling down the road about thirty feet behind me. I can usually count the traffic on one hand on my out and back, but it only takes one to kill me.
