I spent a week in Duck this summer and rode every day. I hit the main road and most days I headed north. Path part of the way then road. I never had a problem. I was expecting one because of what I had read here but it was fine. Several of the rides I had the trailer with the kids. (It was 100 deg that week so they loved the breaze riding in there.)

I wouldn't think twice about it and am planning to go again this summer.
