Around here in the Beermuda triangle there are three kinds of roads. Dirt, Paved, and Superhighways. Pretty much all have two lanes, most don't have a reasonable bike lane, but on all except the superhighways that's okay.
On dirt roads you can ride a bike down the middle of the right lane, and not feel worried that anyone is going to kill you cause everyone else (cars, horses, chickens running across the road, deer, etc) are all going around 10-20mph too. Speed delta, 10mph max. Kinda like a big campground...
On paved roads, where there's repaired potholes, narrow sections, kids riding bikes, horses, cars, etc. All keep speed somewhere around 40 mph. Speed delta, 10-30mph. Getting up there, but, again, probably not going to kill you.
On Superhighways, they are perfectly paved, widened, sight lines fixed, and people freaking fly. I mean.. like 60mph is very likely. On a bike, or walking, someone going 60 is going to liquify you. Plus, those are the roads people want to drive on, given a choice.
I just found out that the town is going to turn FIVE scenic, mellow, farmside paved roads around here into superhighways over the next five years. No Bike Lanes.
Man... I swear... I'm going to keep riding my bike on them until someone liquifies me.
