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!

I skimmed through photos of "UK Time Trials" looking for automobiles:

I only found one (about half way down the page):

<https://www.classiclightweights.co.uk/reminiscences/time-trials-1940s-1950s/>

These generally aren’t the sort of roads people normally go looking for a
leisure ride but for a race..

Do they road race bicycles along side automobiles in the UK?  That
sounds about as safe as racing bicycles on a crowded US freeway.
