Most weekend riders have no idea about common courtesy and think they're the only ones on the path.

I personally think the roads are safer.
So you were the guy I saw taking the right lane of the Loop Parkway southbound from Meadowbrook to Pt Lookout today around 11am? Aerobars or not you're not maintaining 55mph. Guy had no idea how close he came to getting taken out several times from what I could see - traffic was heavy and the Loop Parkway is no place for a bike.

Edit - here's some views - you can see the Loop is no place for a bike - except maybe after an EMP when all cars are permanently parked. http://www.greaternyroads.info/roads...photogal/page2
