There is a road that I wanted to ride and hardly see cyclists on it. I finally figured out that it's the giant roundabout that keeps them off of it (I asked). It's a 50 mph road with ample shoulder. I am not sure I want to attempt a round about with drivers that already have a hard enough time with CARS in the roundabout much less a bike.
Anyone else wonder how some drivers can't be nice to other cars, how the heck do they act with pedestrians and bikes???
One day I might get the brass ones to ride that roundabout...probably really really early on a weekend day would be the right time. Rush hour would be...well...there is only so much "taking the lane" you can do before you will probably get mowed over by someone that needs to pick up Johnny from soccer practice or realized their crockpot is running out of liquid and slowwwwlly charring their chili...
