Hell, I might even buy a bike this spring. But I will not ride on highways with oilfield traffic. I will find trails meant for bikes.
I much prefer trails to roads, but trails do not exist in some parts of the country. I'd encourage you to get a bike. It's great exercise and easy on the old joints. I think you'll also find that you get some of the same joy out of cycling that you do out of hunting when you are bicycling out away from it all. You may even find the bicycle a great way to scout.
