Cary You may think it's a terrible route, and I guess we could "debate" it (there are probaly 200 cyclist that ride in that area in the same time on the weeknights, whether it's "safe" or not). I'll just say that we as a store take on responsibility and we don't have your assessment, and neither does the popularity of the ride. In a year or 2 when the traffic from more neighborhoods is added (2 big developments have popped up this year along Lewter Shop), I'll agree with you (and I've said that to our staff about figuring out a new route).
ETA: But again it's all based on "risk". Your risk will be different from mine, and will be different from the 3rd guy. There is a group ride that rides in all downtown roads of Raleigh at 6pm, I'd never do that ride, as that's a "terrible route" (using your words) but people do.
