When you factor in the high levels of exhaust, including ultra-fine 
particles, and the probability that some driver won't notice you, or 
will have a moment of inattention, I doubt that this "Russian 
Roulette" is worth it. I hope that I won't have to read about you 
some day as a "statistic"....

Researching other routes, and publicizing them on EBBC's bike map, 
also benefits fellow riders.
