I used to enjoy riding a road bike. Country roads, never hog a lane, stop at stop signs, etc. Road bikes don't work on a bike path. Tires are too small and bike paths are typically too rough and lots of loose gravel to crash on. Plus a road bike can do 18-20 mph, a lot of times that is too fast for a bike path. PLUS, I don't even wear the spandex stuff - I should get bonus points for that.
But after reading this, it makes me rethink what you guys are plotting when you drive past me.
