Bike paths are fairly safe. I used to enjoy riding with the bike club early on Sunday mornings before I got my present job...I work every morning picking up milk from the farms. Since I must ride by myself, I can not enjoy it with traffic. I was hit by a car when I was nine and while I do not remember the accident, I do remember the after affects of trying to get home, eating supper and not remembering that I ate it. I rode many miles after that but now at age 61, I no longer have the courage to ride on the road even if I wear outrageous colors. There are too many bad drivers out there and too few concerned witnesses. I think bicycle riding is a very enjoyable way to get exercise as long as you do not have to worry about traffic.

I always like the southern predictor’s prediction better. Me too–top down–different car.
