@cainmark asks:
Q6. Anyone else have trouble navigating from city to country (urban to rural) & the reverse? On the road, w/ no paths available, when the shoulders disappear.
My closest calls have all been on the "outskirts" of a city, just past suburbs, before fully becoming country.
Anyone have ideas on how to traffic engineer that to stop being a problem? Speed limits don't help when people constantly speed over them.
@ascentale @cainmark @bikenite A6: trains that take bikes are the other obvious, easy option.
One that sometimes works is the bike navigation app(s) saying "turn down the short side road here, then 100m later there's a track over a hump, then a fence, and then you're on singletrack through bush... it works but it's not discoverable without the app. And since it's not official sometimes it just ends abruptly at the back of a new construction site or something. Still worth trying.
A6. Trains, especially affordable and timely passenger trains, would be great to have again in the United States. Car companies and the oil cartels help prevent that.
@cainmark @ascentale @bikenite A6: especially the Sydney style heavy rail "metro area" trains that go from Newcastle to Wollongong to Goulburn. Cycle tour, get the train back into Newcastle (etc), change trains back into Sydney. It's a 150km "metro" train ride.
