Thats so true, i wouldnt really want to have to ride my bicycle on the major highways to get around town. The distance and going up the hills on the way back home is always a tough trek. I tried out my friends electric bicycle, and it gave me a great boost, but it is even more unsafe because of the speed. There has been an introduction in bike lanes around, but the problem is they stop and start, and then all of a sudden lead you back onto dangerous roads again.
