Road ID Safety Commercial - Disagree

[OakLeaf]

I saw another one of these ads that had me scratching my head. It appeared to be a group of cyclists demonstrating how to ride on the shoulder of a limited-access highway...how to safely cross an exit ramp.

WTF?! I didn't even think it was legal for bicycles to be on interstate highways in any state. None that I've spent time in, anyhow.

You couldn't pay me to ride on an interstate.

I-70 through the Rockies is open to bicycles simply because it's the only road in the area. I've never been on it on a bici, but from a car (where things often look MORE dangerous to bicis than they do when you're actually riding) it looks perfectly safe - safer in fact than a whole lot of four-lanes I can think of.

I think there are some other stretches of interstate that are not horsepower-restricted, but that's the only one I know for sure.
