Agree that the main road is a very dangerous place for cyclists given the volume of traffic and the size of the vehicles using it ie tour buses, logging lorries and supermarket artics.
There is a 'cycle path' which is a complete no brainer.
Well it was the last time I tried using it a number of years ago, the 'track' often veers off the main road and heads directly up the side of the hill through a series of very steep hairpins to join the nearest forestry road.
Then in no time at all you are forced to descend back down to road level through a series of hairpins.
Then along the road a bit further you repeat the process.
Pretty useless for road bikes too as the paths are unnmetalled.
That's why most cyclists use the main road at their peril.
