If traffic was low, it could be pleasant, and my wife and
kid both
preferred it because gradients were less than on smaller
roads.

I prefer quieter roads, as I've said. But I do ride 55
mph four lanes
from time to time. I do ride lane center, and often do so
even if
there's a shoulder, because shoulders gather too much
flat-causing
debris. It's generally not a problem, and it's never
generated even a
close call for me. But I know it scares some people. I've
known people
who were terrified to ride on any four lane road, even a
local one with
a 40 mph speed limit and low traffic!

Since you haven't noticed, you are not an opinion maker.

 
And we are here to discuss facts and opinions, are we not?
 
 

Nothing stops us, no matter how trivial, pointless or
off-topic. Which is fine with me.
