How do you bike to work when NO ONE bikes to work?

I saw a wonderful video on Urban Simplicity about a video talking about commuting to work from UCLA.  It talked about gaining confidence by biking in groups.  Biking one a month or once a week to work it into your schedule.  Biking is a great alternative to a car.  The maintenance costs are way less.  It is better for the environment.  Blah, blah, blah.  Don't get me wrong.  I love the video.  I wish I lived in San Jose or Santa Clara.  (Or while we are dreaming, Scott's Valley)  But, I have to propose the question....

How do you bike to work when NO ONE bikes to work?  I can guarantee that NO ONE from Mustang, OK commutes by bicycle to Oklahoma City.  How do I know this?  I live in Mustang and work in OKC.  I've travelled to work on the backroads (for fun and change of scenery) and gone into work during a wide range of hours you would anticipate to see cyclists (6:30 to 8:45).  Roads are awful.  Roads are narrow.  No shoulder.  Traffic is high.  Traffic is FAST.

Even if I wanted to take backroads such as Sara Road or Morgan Road there are still issues.  We have such a thing in Oklahoma as rolling hills.  The standard SUV or pickup truck bombs over these hills at the expected 45-50 MPH.  What if two vehicles are coming at each other from opposite directions and a cyclist is in the middle.  For a cyclist this is a problem.  There is no where to bomb off in such instance.  There is no shoulder.  There is no bike lane.  The two vehicles tend to neither slow down nor move over.  They "squeeze" together.  They pass each other very closely and to the cyclist it seems even closer to him or her.  This way neither of the two motorized vehicles have to slow down.  Slowing down is not an option in Oklahoma because everyone drives large SUVs and trucks.  Slowing down means burning more gas to get back up to speed.

Side note: I'm not condoning SUVs or trucks.  I've had several trucks and SUVs in my lifetime.  Currently my wife and I have a Suburban and a Yukon.  So we are a bunch of eco-terrorists as well. 

So, one of two things has to happen before I get to commute to work on bike. 

1)  Bike lanes
2)  I move closer to work

Bike lanes will happen, but they will happen in OKC before they reach all the way out to Mustang.  So, I better not hold my breathe. 

I will most likely not move closer to work.  We love being way out in Mustang.  We are not going to move closer to the bustling city.  (HAAHAHA!!!  Bustling.  I actually used that word.)
