Well, almost. I think I have an appropriate respect for the potential dangers. There are certain roads at certain times I just wouldn't ride. And I am used to the random ahole who has to shout some idiotic babble about "get off of the road" or whatever. But I find a lot of advantages to riding the road versus the safety paths. Better flow, no curbs/transitions as are found on paths/sidewalks (it IS legal to ride on sidewalks here). It is just .... faster.
