When there is a shoulder then bicycles are fine. But for roads like BV and Morse it is dangerous especially with all the circles.

Riders should get a bike rack and travel to a proper starting point if they desire to go on long rides on streets. Sort of like going to the gym. Cars should not have to change lanes for bicycle going a small fraction of the speed limit.

You do not see bicycles on interstate because it would be near suicide. As the speed limit is decreased the differential in speed makes it less dangerous but it is still a significant risk.
