I am looking to try eliminating the expensive car from my life, so I'm seeing if biking to work (normally 3 days a week). Would work for me.
I live in Michigan and there are only two roads that go to my workplace that aren't ridiculously out of the way. One is a small 2 lane highway that has curves and hills, lower traffic, but is rather narrow.
The other choice is a large 4 lane road that is straight with good visibility, no hills or curves and is about 5 lanes wide, but it can get pretty busy.
I am not sure which is the better choice, I know to avoid busy roads, but I have tried riding down the narrower road and I'm afraid of causing a head on collision from cars moving to avoid me.
The speed of traffic on both lanes is generally 55 mph.
Should I choose a lane, or go for a Vespa scooter instead?
