Quote:You're a braver man than I. I grew up riding bikes (dirt) from about the age of 8-9, and I wouldn't ever want to do freeway travel on a bike. No way no how.

 

There's definitely a risk, and in some areas it's far more dangerous than others.  I tend to avoid those areas when possible.  One of my least favorite stretches of highway is between 295 and the World Golf Village on I-95.  For whatever reason, people stand on the gas pedal when they hit that bit of the interstate, and you have to be aware of everything going on around you.  Toss in construction, and it's even scarier.
