For us, it has been getting worse. Most of it, though, I hope and want to believe, is temporary. A couple of the county highways are under repair and the detours are the routes favored by the local cyclists. Nice 2 lane country farm-to-market roads with no shoulders.

Under normal conditions these roads have relatively few cars (heck, more farm equipment than cars), but now they're taking the load of the county highways. Two directions of cars and bikes don't fit and the cars are already irritated because they're on a detour. Lots of passing with inches to spare now so cyclists are forced to take the lane which irritiates the drivers which perpetuates the vicious cycle.

I'm hoping for quick road construction because to get from there-to-here, bikes need to use parts of those roads and some of the cars and trucks are getting nasty.
