Read every thread. It's pointless me doing it. Topic after topic after topic... Every problem. Because.. riding on roads.
That's why I don't ride on roads. It's bliss.

There may be good ideas here and there for people with specific concerns to try out, but as you can see, for every concern there may be a hundred different variations of solutions.
So true.

They are usually lost in the morass of often scores of replies, both in agreement and dispute with mine.
I’m not especially motivated to read or write about rides in areas I will never visit, or bikes I would not buy. Other cyclists’ biking stories are often meaningful to me, but usually not consequential enough for a reply. Frankly, now my main enjoyment is reading the personal clashes on the various threads, such as these current ones: "I work with a moron", or ”How often do you check your mirror?.”

Good planning, and indisputably good advice if you can pull it off (and if you are commuting West).
