I think its just a question of what roads you travel. You stay off major high flow highways and interstates and you'd be surprised how slow people drive. Around here the kind of driving that used to infuriate me on my normal bikes actually works out to be a nice cruising speed for these small bores. 45 or 50 is a very easy relaxed cruising speed. We even pull away from cars at red lights a lot of times.
If you're out somewhere where there are on and off ramps though.....yea you're in danger. But that's not what these are for. They're for back roads and creative navigation, especially the trail 125 which would rather take a dirt shortcut.
