Subject: RE: Biking West I've not biked 55 but I have driven it from buffalo to 494 a lot and I would not try to ride that road. It is way to busy for me and for some reason has a lot of idiot drivers on it. If I was going to ride west from the cities I would maybe drop down to highway 12. This would take you further south but there are a lot of secondary road just off of 12 that would be good roads to ride, plus most of highway 12 has a nice margin to it. Honestly I would ride the secondary roads that parallel highway 12. The down side is that you will likely be adding a lot of miles to your ride. If highway 55 is the road you want or need to use, try looking at the secondary roads that follow it. Once you get past or near buffalo 55 should be fine, but be mindful of time of day. |
