//shudder// I go through that intersection 2-3 times a week. 75th is a busy four-lane divided highway, no bike lanes of course, but there's a limestone trail paralleling it along that stretch. Modaff is a wide two-lane collector with bike lanes.

Edward's a good hospital, so the cyclist is in good hands.
