And you have to take with a grain of salt the comments in a thread about
dealing with fear of riding on roads made by someone who doesn't ride on roads.
Especially since he's riding very road-capable vehicles--ebikes that can be ridden 40 mph if I recall correctly.
Biking on paths in the U.S. is great, unless you actually, y'know, want to get somewhere. During the daylight savings time months, I'll drive after work to the nearest decent path and do a 24 mile round trip because I can avoid doing my evening workout in rush hour traffic. That path is otherwise either on my way to somewhere or not. Neither end is actually a destination I'd go to otherwise.
