The wrong way is simply the safest choice in blind hill situations with ignorant and distracted drivers.
Is it? I’m incredulous.
As a driver, I would hate to crest a hill on a country road and have a cyclist coming straight at me. I’d have to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid him. That’s bad.
As a cyclist, I would hate to crest a hill on a country road and have a car coming straight at me. Because if it doesn’t swerve, we run into each other head-on.
If there’s room on the shoulder for me to go the wrong way, I’m probably better off in the shoulder on the correct side of the road. Or just in the main traffic lane like I normally am.

Around here they are 30 feet wide, including at the crest. >As a driver, I would hate to crest a hill on a country road and have a cyclist coming straight at me. I’d have to swerve into oncoming traffic to avoid him. That’s bad. This occurs on both sides of the crest. You can only hope for a near miss. >As a cyclist, I would hate to crest a hill on a country road and have a car coming straight at me. Because if it doesn’t swerve, we run into each other head-on. That's up to you. You can choose jump as a last resort. Getting hit from behind, you're unaware of everything until you're launched into the sky.
