Yeah, I know they exist. But I meant in the way they used to. They're really just not what they were, which is a shame. I'd love to have been able to do them as they used to be.

You might just be young enough to see the end of human drivers on public roads. Once we eliminate the drivers, we can eliminate all the fixed infrastructure which attempts to keep them from crashing and the roads will once again be open to cyclists to attempt city to city records without being stopped by traffic lights every 100 yards.

They do, they're just very hard to schedule and route in a way which would make beating the old ones possible in the light of all the traffic control measures which have been built in the past 30 years, and the increase in vehicular traffic which has driven those changes.
