While I agree that the safety issue is a bit overblown for races like Florida or Kona, remember that the vast majority of Ironman races now have multi-loop bike courses. You will not always have open road ahead of you. After the first lap, you will have fop packs lapping bop packs at drastically different speeds on potentially narrow sections of road (many races only have one lane to work with).
