Glad to hear it. Never understood why ALL roads weren't designed by default with cyclists, motorists AND pedestrians taken into account. It shocks me how many urban areas I've been to that don't have sidewalks in the city, and a three foot paved shoulder that is kept clean designated for bikes on all paved rural roads could not only bring safety, but reduced road maintenance by keeping heavy vehicles away from the shoulder where cracks form.
