Our local roads are like this and not friendly for cycling at all. Now just stick to gravel riding, very fortunate to live on a trailhead for a trail that goes 150 miles

I try to ride in the mornings when there is less traffic out. The roads I typically ride are those that either have a decent shoulder, or have lower vehicle traffic. Some are wide enough for any vehicles to go around me... No real cycling trails in my area... yet...

How far did you ride? I need to start riding so I can hurry and get rid of my car. That’s my goal.

@@TheCreoleSon89 The more often you ride the easier it gets... I started out with a max of 5 miles... a few months later I bumped it up to between 8 and 10... then again a few months later I bumped it up to where I am now... 12-15 in a single ride. Not going at race speed or anything super strenuous... Longest I have ridden was 29 1/2 on Jun 8... Won't do that again for quite a while without working up to it...
