A few views of the local area, up to about 40 miles from home. Some roads are quite bad but most are in decent shape. The first view is a principal street through Bristol. Nice shoulders with only an occasional parked car blocking the way and both the shoulder and roadway smooth. There are many quiet country roads with little traffic and in Rhode Island, you are never far from the sea. As a boat builder and now riding a bike, I love living here. Motorist are accommodating toward cyclists.

I see people on this road all the time. It's often moderately busy 45 mph most go 55, with cars and many blind turns. Connecticut folk assume people will stop for them. I am not so trusting.
