I am a high-miles bike rider who rides seven days per week. I put more miles on my bicycle than many people put on their car.

While I understand it is perfectly legal for a bicycle to be on the 35+ mph roads, if they are there for purely recreational riding, I think it's a terrible practice. When the roads are busy, every single car that has to go around the biker takes a risk merging into faster traffic on the left. I think one has to be a bit of a prima donna to inconvenience so many other people.
