Side streets rarely have bike lanes, have more 4-way stops, randomly appear/disappear and have terrible potholes for road bikes. People act as if american side-streets aren't designed in an actively hostile manner for traffic calming that makes biking really difficult. Most importantly, most cyclists are using google maps like the rest of us, and google sends us on the main street. So, that's where we go.
