I ride in the neighborhoods and limit the amount of time on the street as much as possible. I have had many close calls wirh cars passing me with only a foot of clearance. I stopped riding on the MMPs when a cart passed me on a path where the lanes separated with a median. Scared the crap out of me. No paths, limited street time, all neighborhood roads. I treasure my bike time, so give it a try, but have mirrors and be mindful.
