The streets here in Fort Wayne are far narrower then they were back in Bakersfield. So riding on the streets here is quite a challenge. Not only are they narrow but most city streets have no shoulder or bike lane to ride in; so your right there in the traffic. So in order to remain safe while riding on busy streets I have to keep my speed the same as the cars and sometimes that means I'm drafting in order to go fast enough. But as soon as side street comes up, I get off!! The country roads though are very good with wide shoulders on most.
