a bike on the road in my area is a statistic in the police blotter! Hell, just walking on the roads scares the bleep out of me.
Yeah, I know. That’s unfortunate, but there are more than a few places like that.
No matter what though, you have to keep your head screwed on on a bicycle on the roads these days, what with people with their freaking cell phones and stuff. That’s just insane.
I know a guy who was involved in Harley organizations and such, had a top end bike of all kinds of extras, and he just stopped riding.
He said it got nerve racking. He ended up just giving his bike to a young man who really wanted one..
