I love biking, but it's dangerous....

The funny thing is that an intersection is the most dangerous place on the road, besides the shoulder, a park, coming out of a driveway, a parking lot..... in other words, "ya gotta be careful".

I'm planning a little 340 mile 3 day ride this spring....here's my bike....thank God it's relatively flat.

Biking can be dangerous. I have found some great roads that are out of the way, but I still have a few miles on a somewhat busy highway. I have a rear view mirror and constantly check out cars and where I can go off the road if need be. 99% of auto drivers are very nice and usually give me a wide berth, but every once in a while, some jackass will ride by be trying to get within inches of me. Still, I can keep my weight down and my heart rate in the 40s.

Nice looking ride! Comfortable too with all that carbon soaking up the bumps. I ride an old Cad4 Cannondale with 105/Ultegra components and it just about beats me to death. I am looking at a Salsa Campeon frame (Scandium and Carbon)to build this spring, just haven't decided to turn loose of the money. Enjoy the long ride. I did the Katy across Missouri in late September and it was the best vacation I ever took.

My brother was killed riding his bike along a highway in Georgia. That took away my desire to do anymore road riding.
