It's quite common for me once I get a little bit away from my house to not be passed by any cars, no matter the time of day, but unfortunately I live right on a fairly major 55mph road that's unavoidable if I ride from my house.

It's not too bad since there's a really wide shoulder, but it still makes me nervous.
