3. About 2.5 years
4. I only ride during the day, and I wear gloves and a helmet. I wear sunglasses for the sake of eye protection, too, not just for the sun. I also wear some sort of moisture-wicking shirt and riding shorts, if that counts.
5. No, I only use it to ride trails as a hobby
6. Mountain biking. Single-track, more specifically.
7. Being out of shape, mechanical failures on the bike, being lost, being dehydrated, flat tires, lack of trails, lack of nearby trails, lack of skill, lack of riding partners... Geeze, never realized how frustrating this is.

1. Female, Buffalo, NY
2. unemployed, but have done some teaching in the past.
3. I started seriously cycling last fall.
4. I wear a helmet, reflective vest, gloves. I use front and rear lights at night.
5. My bicycle is my main transportation. I ride to the store, to work, for recreation. It is all road cycling.
6. The biggest problem I have faced is the lack of cycling-safe streets. Another issue is the lack of places to tie a bike to at stores and restaurants.
