Maybe I'm jaded living here. Went to LBI one year and was amazed Jersey drivers think 80 mph 5 feet from my back bumper is normal. Every time I tried to leave a safe distance from the car in front, 3 cars would fill it in. I don't mind fast but I do like a little reaction time The problem with RT 7 is that there are a lot of curves and hills with limited visibility and that combined with limited shoulders on much of the road can be nervewracking. 2 cars coming at each other in those spots leave no room for them to move over or to react and slow down. Having a truck mirror come by at 60 mph a foot away may be thrilling to you city people but scares the crap outta me. I drive it quite a bit from Rutland to Burlington and and see few bikes since there are longer but much safer ways to go
