I've ridden a bunch in Central America outside of the big cities and have had nothing but great experiences. Nicaragua is especially good for riding (a somewhat positive consequence of an otherwise horribly depressing poverty) This pic is a bad stretch of road on the island of Omotepe, but the roads tended to be good dirt or concrete without much traffic.
