No, I do not think that jogging on roads is safe because you don't know how all drivers drive ,what if you get run over? You might as well just go to a park or somewhere else besides a road unless it is a road where cars don't pass but it is definitely not safe to jog on roads and there are many reasons. Let's say you trip and fall in a park or on the grass it is not going to hurt as nearly as it would hurt if you were to fall on the road where your knees are going to get all scraped. Also there will be a lot of people on the road so you will probably be very embarrassed. People will be laughing and pointing and I do not think you want that now do you?! Always remember safety's first! And the floor is very hot when it is sunny outside your feet are going to burn up unless you like that feeling! anyways it's for your safety your feet's safety and your legs safety you do not want scars or burns or marks it is not attractive as one person once said to me.this is just my opinion on whether or not people should jog on the side of the road if people do not see bike riders what makes you think they are going to see you walking? you do not have to agree with me but this is my opinion.GOOD LUCK!
