No shoulders, for the most part (and when there are shoulders, they are wastelands of rubble, trash, and dead varmints). Also, Long Island drivers are, to put it charitably, downright terrible.
There was a story, a few years ago, about a local town official, that said that people just shouldn’t ride bikes on Long Island.
It went viral, and he was pilloried in the Court of Public Opinion, but he was actually probably right.
It has nothing to do with bicyclists being a problem, and everything to do with Long Island being the problem.
