I stick to bike paths too. I also know several long time motorcyclists who stopped riding because of distracted and DUI drivers.

Count me in that. I quit riding my motorcycle for the same reason and I had ridden for years and years and years.

Too many a*shole drivers out there for me. Now I ride around in a ‘05 F350 V8 turbo-diesel..I feel much safer.

I don't feel all that safe in my car. They don't go when the light is green. They're weaving. Some are very aggressive drivers. Most are doing something other than paying attention to their driving.

Both of my adult kids and I ride bikes. Both have been in bone breaking accidents. My daughter's most recent accident was inches away from being fatal. Luck and a plowed field protector from any serious harm. That said bike riding is dangerous. People look for cars and are not bikes. So even people who are trying to do the right thing can have problems with bikes. We have all seen guys like this on the road so I have little sympathy for him.
