Where would you be riding on this road when you are
NOT in a paceline, and
without a supporting cast of other cyclists on a weekday in moderate to heavy traffic? In other words the typical cycling scenario for cyclists for whom bike facilities are intended; not a recreational playground for club cyclists.
