There simply is no other place to ride. It's called "road riding" for a reason...what's funny is that bikers get the same reaction back home in Iowa where there's so much freaking land and everything is spread out. The motorists still throw a fit because someone thinks they have equal share of the road!
I'd say idiots towing boats around here are a much larger problem than the mostly law abiding cyclists out there.
Another angle is where we live, being blessed with such a beautiful scenery. Even better to be able to ride around and enjoy it...
I'm a very defensive cyclist, even more so when I've got my son in tow...although if I really thought someone would hit me from behind, perhaps the only real threat, I don't think I'd be on the road myself.
And I do wear the funny shorts, although I keep my sweater a little looser than the skinsuits I used to wear, and I no longer shave my legs.
