la cycling seems wild, because they always include like...20 miles of riding next to a motorway but frame it as
"this is good, actually - desirable, yes i love having to ride on the pavement because there is 7 lanes of traffic to my left and a motorist can legally run me over, it's actually satisfying"
like sure, unlike riding 10 miles of A road in london, if you survive the white van men, taxi drivers and nissan qashquis you get to a lovely mountain, instead of windsor great park where they ask you to dismount your bike. but like damn, they post the view from the top and all you see is this haze.

Sometimes it's a poorly maintained bike path between 7 lanes of traffic and a paved river.

Just seen this. Strong agree/cosine etc. Vaguely considered doing a Rapha shop ride while on holiday, realised it started and finished on the Pacific Coast Highway. No.
Later did about 5 miles of separated PCH bike path near Carpinteria, that was bad enough. Some of it was in the central reservation. Maybe we could have that feature added to the A3?
