This was kind of my point previously - there are just some places we shouldn't ride. She can't stop or slow down, she can't pull to the side, sure, she has the "right" to take the lane, but it's only 1 1/2 cars wide; when there's a car coming up the road, what is she going to do if the road is so treacherous that she can't do anything but ride down the middle of it? Just doesn't sound like a safe place to ride, much less repeatedly. Yeah, I've been out riding around with no plan of where to go, just to ride, and get "lost" or turned around and maybe you end up some place like this on accident, but to do it over and over and over again?
