Don't fully agree. In the beginning, I mostly focused on bike trails and pedestrian/bike paths. Had so many issues with people not respecting bicycles. Especially with dogs off leash. Most dog owners do not bother to leash their dogs. Accidents albeit less severe, were much more common. Talked to a number of cyclists who agreed. Roads safer, along as you follow the rules, and ride safely and legally. Which is what I do. In my latest accident, the FD and PD found the production company at fault. I've been riding through their setups (road and off road) for years now. They can be careless at times, and you do have mindful. But this was the first time there was no signage, and the conditions (road, darkness and weather) which all together was a recipe for disaster. Could have nailed more cyclists but given the conditions and how early it was, I was the sole victim. Apparently they removed all their gear including cables shortly after my accident. But movie crews can be anywhere. Not just roads. As a matter of fact, much more common to find them off the road.
