Yeah on occasion.
I've ridden in Vt, Ma, CT, RI and upstate NY and never had real drama at all. I never did ride in NJ though ... might just be a bigger city thing, where I am it's probably a smaller town than Newcastle and I've never ridden in a city as big as Sydney ... and I ride away from it ... my commute takes me away from the city ( I live in the city and work in the burbs )
