"Riding on roads without dedicated full cycle lane sucks, period."

Sounds like you live in a large city or something. I can ride 100 miles on rural country lanes where I live, and only see a handful of cars all day.

Please don't comment on subjects about which you know nothing.

Every time a car passes you with a massive speed differential, you are gambling with your life. As long as you (and your family) are willing to accept that risk, then all the power to you.

Also, rural roads aren't exactly known for their alert drivers. Drunk driving is far more common due to lack of taxis/ubers.

Good job on making the GP point. I seriously doubt you know what you are talking about.
