Meh, it's not that bad. But then, the only two places I've lived while riding are Charlotte and Raleigh, so I probably have distorted views of bad.
I have a few different rides I do. Down south by way of Yates Mill, Penny, Johnson Pond, down through Fuquay is a nice ride. For something shorter heading out Avent Ferry almost to Tryon and then heading over to Cary along Locmeere, that's a nice route too.
Once you get out of town (takes about 20 minutes from campus) the roads are pretty nice and pretty low traffic. That's why I usually head south, because I can get out of town quicker. If I go north from campus, I have to ride through almost the entire city before I get out, same with east. West isn't bad, just not as easy of routes.
