Weather permitting, I bike every afternoon on the streets of my neighborhood to get the mail and get exercise. Never had a problem there. Internal streets are the safest ride IMO. At the other end of the spectrum are the MMPs on Buena Vista and Morse Blvd. Especially on the half-circles around the gates. I never got hit but once I was forced to bail out into the brush ( knee high shubery ). That's life in the big city. Guy actually stopped to tell me that he knew an athletic guy like myself would have no problem bailing out, or he wouldn't have cut me off. OK.
