OK, so that begs the question, why do you ignore the (I assume) posted speed limit, what are your reasons? To follow up on that question, if you are riding 25mph on a road posted at 25mph, no shoulder, in the lane, would it bother you if the cars were doing 45, honking their horns and hollering at you?
