Riding among cars and trucks is likely to cause one to inhale CO.

 
We were discussing testing for CO inhalation for better performance in
bicycle racing.  Bicycle races are normally not conducted in heavy
traffic.
 

No though UK Time Trials are often on large roads, the fastest of them are
fast because of that ie getting drag from the passing traffic!
 
These generally aren’t the sort of roads people normally go looking for a
leisure ride but for a race..

When I was young the British TT records were all faster than
Olympic/World TT records.
 

To be fair I don’t think they are UCI? Or maybe that’s just the hill
climbers hence the 5KG or less bikes being used!
