I'm really liking the unnecessary sarcasm. For one, I didn't say that I don't bike on roads with high speed limits, I said I try to avoid ones with heavy traffic. This can also mean just avoid them during peak hours. No you don't have to just cycle in your driveway, that would be silly you silly goose. HEHE. Apparently when someone has an opinion, it isnt respected on these boards. Left because of it a year ago and just started coming back to these boards again, but it never fails. No one wants to accept the fact that people drive terribly and all I was saying is that it is not possible to stop everyone from doing so. And like mariner said, risk vs. rewards. Nothing wrong with cycling on roads where heavy traffic is and unsafe driving, just not where I prefer to ride because I don't enjoy it because of the never knowing if they see me or are paying attention. Insecure riding to me isn't fun, which is why I have my own riding habits (early morning, backroads, bike paths, etc). That is all I'm saying people. Absolutely no need to take offense.
