It's one of those "it is what it is" deals. There might be some sections of bike path along the river that are a few miles long, without a traffic light, but there sure isn't anything longer than that within... probably a good 40 miles of me. I'm willing to accept that there's a roll-of-the-dice/do-you-want-to-be-an-idiot factor associated with longer segments - I'm not threatening the leader board without an accompanying paceline and I'm not going to take any of this **** serious enough to put myself in jeopardy.
