      I have lived here 18 years. I have only seen one person try to bicycle commute in that time. He disappeared after a month. It’s just two narrow lanes and a ditch with lots of heavy truck traffic, high speeds, and curves. One time I tried walking home from the tire shop - about two miles. Four people stopped to offer me a ride because being on the side of these roads is that dangerous.
