Have to agree with Florida. I grew up in south Louisiana, not an area known for it's wonderful roads, but the drivers were much better. I don't know if that's because of the easy going nature of the Cajuns, or what, but I had no problems at all. I lived in Wyoming for a while and riding there was awesome. No traffic, good drivers, beautiful scenery. Now that I'm in Florida it's like Mad Max sometimes. Aggressive drivers, narrow roads, traffic. The good thing about my area is that we are making improvements both in accomodating transportational cyclists and trail riders. We have the Withlacoochee Trail running competely through our county, the Suncoast Trail heading south of here to Tampa, and bike lanes and MUPs getting put in when roads are widened. I figure things will be nice in 10 years---and that's just about the time gasoline will become prohibitively expensive.
