I've got a couple stretches of A1A down here in Florida that make me cringe everytime I have to ride on them. Broken glass, metal shards, gravel, sand, & rough hard surfaces. Rednecks in trucks drifting over into the bike lane. Bike gangs. Dump trucks. Concrete trucks. Oh my God!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously. Bad roads are a tough place to operate a bicycle.
