Despite occasional grumbles about loose dogs, angry drivers, and liquid manure trailers being towed WAY too fast (yes, really), our corner of Lancaster County is relatively serene for road bicycle riding.
At least it seems to be most weekends, weekdays between 0500 and 0730, 1000-1400, and after 1900. The problems arise during commuting hours when folks are in a blazing hurry.
Some places are never safe to ride. Parts of Maryland are exceptional (quiet roads, wide shoulders), but other horrendous.
What's your favorite place to ride? What towns and counties seem best suited to road cycling?
I'll submit that states and above are basically pointless to compare since there is such a huge variety. In Pennsylvania, for example, I find Lancaster and surrounding counties fairly good, whereas Fayette, green, and other SW PA counties are downright horrible for road riding (due mostly to narrow, twisty roads with no shoulder and drivers not used to seeing cyclists on the roads).
Post a comment below and let's build a database of good, not so good, fair, and awful.
