The curvy road is used by a lot of rednecks who love taking the curves fast, for fun. These aren't your run-of-the-mill normal rational city drivers . . .if they don't see me, they're just going to keep accelerating and hooting and hollering, throwing beer cans and having fun! Don't want to get hit on the head with a beer can! ROFLOL

I need that blushing smiley again.
No. Do NOT ride on the side against traffic- you are going to cause a serious accident one day if you do that. It does not make you any more likely to be seen or safer. It makes it MORE DANGEROUS. And most often it's illegal as well. Please, stop doing this. Ride with the direction of traffic. You ARE traffic, you are NOT a pedestrian.
