Hi Sweetfeet, former cyclist here, just thought I would explain why they ride on the road and not the shoulder. When I rode I would always try to stay near the fog line but not go in the road, the reason is debris and garbage on the shoulder. The tires on my bike were $76.00 apiece and that doesn't include the tube, I rode at 115 PSI in each tire, it doesn't take much to get a blowout and that's why most cyclists dont ride right on the shoulder. I also had a mirror to watch traffic coming from behind, 90% of the people would give me room but the others, not a chance, so you have to move to the right. I had a guy pass by me once at 65mph within less than a foot pulling a large trailer, thats just stupid, like TF said, "jailtime or prison for hitting and killing a cyclist" a lot easier to just move to the left a couple feet while passing. I never rode like that to be a jerk and was well aware of the outcome of car or truck vs. bike, it was nerve wracking at times to say the least.
I always preferred bike trails but when your riding 24 to 27 mph, bike trail people (walkers) get crabby at you.
