My ride is very pleasent since I leave at 4:00am to go to work. Very little traffic. About 2/3 of my ride is country main roads with nice shoulders then into the city of Ithaca.
I have been biking for about 3 years now. Started as a way to lose weight which is working very well though still a clydesdale. I enjoyed cycling so much I decided to make it part of my everyday life by biking to work.
