The roads I'd be ridin' on to get to the trail have a bike lane that's literally wide enough for a car. If I stay on the inside of it...it'd be very hard for someone to hit me.
But I know what you mean! I rode everywhere on-base in Germany...but people were driving slow. Even there, I did as much off-road riding as I could, when I was riding for fun.
Van-sama needs a bike rack and I need to meet some not-too-serious mountain bikers...
They are WAY to many maniac drivers here.
But I'd like to try riding in Shark Valley. Remember where I took the Flat Frodo pic with the little gator?
