Cycling past DangerZone Highway (in Comfort) … Niagara Escarpment, Canada – Vehicle Photography

While cycling along the ridge of the Niagara Escarpment last summer, I had to smile when I came across this narrow gravel sideroad that someone had named “Dangerzone Highway.” _{(See close-up of street sign, below main photo)}

Bombastic … and comic 

Obviously, that seldom-used lane to nowhere is not a “highway”, and it’s hardly even a road. Furthermore, it’s definitely not a “dangerzone.”    

But I guess somebody in the Department of Highways had a liking for “the bombastic, melodramatic sound” of 1980s pop music (as AllMusic.com stated so correctly.) And he probably had a sense of humor, too. (“Bombastic, melodramatic” Highway to the Dangerzone   )

A light breeze never hurt anyone 

I did not turn onto that “Dangerzone Highway,” since I like riding in comfort, and prefer cruising (unlike Tom) on paved cycling paths or roads.

Inevitably on my cycle rides, I sometimes have to deal with rain or strong wind (as you can see in this photo, of me riding the same recumbent bicycle). But for me, a little bad weather is enough “danger” to deal with on any given day.        _{[Right-Click Here to Enlarge Photo]} Location – Ridge Road, Hamilton, Canada, on Google Maps
