I’m in as much as hurry as the traffic is! Keep with the flow or don’t go!
I had city living for more than half my life, traffic/drivers were horrible then (I had a bad moped accident hit by drunk driver in 1977 who had suspended license on my new only 2 week old moped) and its even worse now with poorly trained distracted drivers,
I have to go in 2 city’s several times a month (by car) and wow it’s bad, got to be on the defense all times, cops don’t ticket most times unless your 11-14 mi over limit and don’t pull people over for not using turn signals because they’re afraid of lawsuits so so you got people flying by you on both sides not using signals if you keep to the limit
A bike with takeoff fast as car normal takes off, speed that can keep up with the speed of traffic on whatever road (which can be 10 mi over limit) kinda loud pipes and hogging the lane kept me going since that bad 1977 accident,
Slow ebikes/scooters that came out recently get clocked/recked all the time as well as many amish buggy accidents every year not too far from me,
All the warning signs in the world doesn’t help when you’re topping a hill on a 45-50mph road in your car and a Amish buggy going 12mph is right there, they should be outlawed, for most roads have minimum speed limit,
Like I first said “keep with the flow or don't go”
