That's a major problem, I wouldn't cycle without good paths. The risks are too high, and I don't particularly like the idea of such an ignoble death as being smooshed by someone who was glancing at their phone and didn't see me. Death by tiktok, no thanks.

I do ride some shared roads but they are low-traffic side streets, and I have to zip down an inner city bike lane on my commute but again, totally different to a shoulderless high speed road.
