Whilst I accept that perhaps the drafting isn’t as dangerous as it may have appeared to me, and some good points have been made to that effect, I think it’s also the fact such a good quality bike path is right there, next to the road that surprised me.

It’s elevated and separated from the road by a large curb, has an excellent surface that is pothole free, is wide, and is rarely used by anything other than bikes due to its length and with not a lot in between the city at one end and the first of the western suburbs and university at the other.

Just seems he chose high risk (maybe not as high as I imagine) vs no/low risk and for what benefit? A few kmh faster on a weekday afternoon.

Anyway, each to their own and risk can of course be subjective. I’m probably just becoming too risk averse as I get older/have kids! Interesting opinions though.
