Where is the best place to ride ???

I'm new to Wake Forest area ... I see "Bike Routes 1 & 2" near Purnell road - but MAN ... you'd have
to be brave/crazy to ride those roads with no shoulders...

Help

Depends on how far / fast you want to ride.

here on the northern edge of London UK we have a number of roads that are only ten feet wide, with
high hedges on each side. I have only met a tractor-trailer coming in the opposite direction once.
It was delivering a rental bulldozer to the local dogs home, and turned off into a driveway just
before I reached it.

I suppose that if there had been a conflict it would have been up to me to back up to the nearest
turn out, rather than for him to do so. It would have been much easier for me.

Yeah , seems the nice thing to do, id have probably done the same. except maybe if the driver
started hooting at me, in which case id wouldnt move and make him back up
