I add a mile to my route (4 miles instead of 3) to avoid a section of road I don't particularly like riding on. I'm pretty certain the city will redo that section of road in the next 2-3 years to add a bike lane (they've already done another section of the same road, and it'll connect nicely with the existing trail/bike lane network if they do one more section), but for the time being I prefer not to ride on it.
