One of the roads has a fair bit of traffic, but most of the roads I ride don't have much, if any, traffic on them. On today's ride, for instance, other than MD 17 and Alt US 40, we only encountered about 5-6 cars. In my experience, early morning weekday rides have very light traffic. I ride with a flashing taillight to help make me visible, wear an eyeglass mounted mirror so I can see behind me and ride defensively. So far, no problems, but I know things can change quickly and without warning so I remain constantly on guard.
