	I have just moved from suburban California to semi-rural
	Washington State.  I used to commute about 12 miles
	round trip using back streets and a nice dedicated
	bike trail.

	Now that I'm looking at bicycle commuting about 30 miles
	round trip on country/farm roads, I'm looking for tips
	on safety and convenience.  Specifically, should I be
	concerned about narrow road shoulders and fast cars.


				Thanks in advance,
