I have never understood why any sections of the extremely busy Northfield drive were marked as a cycling route.

a. Is that part really marked as a cycling route?
b. That section isn't that busy, but is driven at highway speeds.
c. There isn't a lot of information, but visibility at 9 pm isn't great, and it makes me wonder if the bike had proper lighting.
a) Parts are, not that part, basically from the city to Sawmill Dr. is, then from Sawmill Dr. to the Kissing Bridge Trail isn't, and then north of there, it is.
b) Busy is of course a relative term, but I find it busier than other routes that I have historically ridden outside the city.
c) I try not to ask such questions, I'm sure the police will. But unlike the police, I don't believe a cyclist not having lighting really justifies hitting a person in all or even most circumstances.
