Smile And keep an eye on the weather !

You will find safe paths if you look and keep an eye on the weather. Bikes way to go......do 20 miles 6 days a week...sweet

Maybe I’m over-thinking this, and it’s not as big a safety concern as I’m envisioning it to be. Would be interested to hear what cyclists have to say about their comfort and safety level when riding on the paths.
