Nope! At first I was a little nervous. But once I started riding on them more I was comfortable. Just have to payALOT of attention to what’s going on around you.

nope. i run just a little faster than everyone else. once they're behind me, i don't worry about them anymore. as long as i don't get stuck behind a semi without a helmet on.

I like them. Nobody pulling out of parking spaces or driveways without looking, nobody blowing through a red light , no oncoming traffic making a left turn onto you. No dogs or kids darting out between parked cars. It takes a while to get used to the speed, but there's a lot less hazards on a limited-access highway than on local streets.

What are you doing riding on the freeway without a helmet? That is just stupid to say the least.
