I'm finally back home, with a chance to take 2 weeks off from work and clock in some serious cycling!! So happy .

Just out of curiosity, do you guys ride mainly on big roads, small roads or just the dedicated bike paths(question going out to all you road riders)?

The reason why I ask is because of safety concerns (both vehicular & criminal persons). I have a single route which I've worked to death and am thinking of planning a couple of new nice ones.

So any general tips?
