If given the choice between a nice well-designed path and a road with heavy traffic, both of which will get me to where I want to go, I'd choose the path, not out of fear or discomfort with the road, but because eliminating one factor - traffic - can make the ride more enjoyable. What would you choose? If you choose the road, can I assume that you have a phobia about paths?
