Yah. My other hesitation is that I was in an accident (hit from behind) on one once. Fortunately I had a helmet on; it could have been much worse.
Yep. My grandson got one after he graduated, and was on his way to work. He was stopped for a red light, getting ready to make a left turn, and got hit from behind. He went rump over teakettle and landed on his left leg. It didn’t break, and he wasn’t wearing a helmet, so I guess he’s much better off than he could have been. He hasn’t ridden it since.
