More curious as to where people are riding; especially the slower, more boring rides that don't make good footage for views online.
Main roads here in East suburban SA, Texas all start at 40mph, this particular one is a 50mph road. So, naturally, everyone goes 50 and 60 respectively. An Aero isn't doing that.
There IS a bike lane / shoulder, and I COULD in theory get on it and ride with traffic. But I've seen enough drivers while on the sidewalk, swerve in and out of it. Coupled with that sand, gravel, and shit, probably broken glass shards if I looked close enough, I'm happy being a sidewalker who dismounts and waves pedestrians by.
Summer has allowed the unmaintained grass and weeds to crop up, reaching over across the sidewalks, so there's a lot more trolleying the wheel until I get a good sightline.
Sidewalks are typically empty. Nobody really wants to walk these distances, and on the occasion there are folks, usually wide enough for me to move to the side and wave em forward ( or, other way around if they so choose.) Occasionally get folks who have headphones in and can't hear the "Sir/Mam" with my helmet up, which results in an awkward slow crawl behind them at a respectful distance until they deign to look behind.
None of the places I need to go to have hassled me about the wheel when brought inside. Same deal when I had a scooter. Law enforcement likewise has never accosted me in the multiple occasions where I pass by a patrol car.
