> But the reality is that our roads are ill suited for the task, catastrophically and obviously dangerous, and people insist on trying it anyway because in principle, it should work. The vast majority of roads are ill suited for bikes in our area (Asheville NC). The roads are narrow, curvy, blind and there is rarely even a shoulder. Bikers are in danger so much I don't know how they stomach it. I see them a lot of side walks which just endangers pedestrians. It seems they cause traffic build up (people wanting to pass safely) which just enrages drivers and want to lash out at these "idiots" for being on these kinda roads in the first place.
