The 76 crosses not far from home so I rode it for a few miles on this lazy Sunday had almost a dozen cars and trucks blasted by (fortunately all in other lane). Yeah how do you get used to high speed traffic? by bionicpirate42 Bicycling Biking Cycling

yves_st_lemond on July 8, 2024 12:07 am I switched to gravel or mtb and got a motorcycle honestly Got sick of rednecks
audiomagnate on July 8, 2024 12:09 am You don’t. I wouldn’t ride that road to be honest and people think I’m a daredevil for taking the lane in city traffic.
I-have-extra-organs on July 8, 2024 12:18 am Agree with all. With no wide shoulder you are just in jeopardy. Find a different location so you can live to ride another day.
