Well, I'm glad things work good for you in your frozen bicycle
paradise, but down here in tropical Miami the roads remain "no man's
land." Perhaps you live in a Blue State or something.
"Upon leaving downtown Miami, I ride west along SW 7th Street, a major
east-west surface corridor through the Little Havana neighborhood.
This primarily residential street is one-way and has three travel
lanes. Though the posted speed limit is 30mph, I think I bike closer
to the speed limit than anyone drives. I would like to take more
pictures of this street, but I am usually too busy surviving.
Nonetheless, the street is absolutely inhospitable to the cyclist,
which is why the majority of people ride on the sidewalks."
