Bikes and cars don't mix, stick to the bike trails and I promise I won't drive on them.

As soon as they build a trail from my house to my office 11 miles away, I promise I'll use it. Until then, there is nothing between my house and work except road, so that's the route I take.

Are you in Houston? One of Mayor Whites bright ideas was to take a strip of pavement on the side of a busy street, paint a bike on it and voila, it’s a bike trail. 2 cyclists
were killed 2 blocks from my house the first week it after it was painted. Beware of that kind of bike trail.

For a little more adventure and safety, all you need is a mountain bike...you're forgetting about the ditch.
