I live in an "8".
Yep, everyone's pretty dependent on their cars/SUV's out there in the 'burbs, and the drivers aren't used to seeing anyone walking or biking on the road.
There are a few paved paths running around the neighborhoods, but none of them really go anywhere except to another road...
My partner hates living out where we do... takes 45 minutes of driving to get to any decent mountain biking trails. We both probably spend 1-1.5 hours a day in the car commuting to work too. Yep, the gas prices hurt.
Now if only the real estate market would go back up we could move w/o losing a ton of money to some place more rideable!
