Yes.  I've been an avid biker and was a roadracer from high school through college competitively.  Training 40 miles a day was a regular routine.  But over the last several years, even driving in my car, I have too many incidents of some 16 year old girl in a Wrangler too busy LOL'ing on her phone to pay attention and nearly hitting me.  I've given up the road, even selling my 48 year old custom Colin Laing / all Campy road bike.  I still hit the trails now and then on the Cannondale F700 but I'm done on the road.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
