I feel safe most of the way. About 1.6 miles is on a MUP--which is delightfully empty early in the morning, and it runs along the river and across a bridge, so it's lovely, too--and the rest is on a 2-way 4-lane arterial with a bike lane. The drivers are pretty mellow, and used to bikes, so I haven't been the recipient of any road rage or dopiness (yet--*knock wood*) on that stretch.

The 4-lane arterial dumps into a 2-lane, skinny-shouldered road for the last 1/2 mile of my commute, and that's the stretch that worries me. It's a construction zone right now, littered with debris, and traffic barrels through over the 50mph limit regularly. Plus for some reason the drivers seem more PO'd on this road than on the other. I've been buzzed a couple times. Even so, I just stay on high alert. It doesn't keep me from going through there. But if there were a way to avoid it, I would.
