I don't ride my bike anywhere but on bike trails for fear of all the cars, trucks, blind hills, and well, I'm lazy anyhoo. If I had to (or chose) to ride a bike (motorized or otherwise) on the roads, it would be a ridiculous sight. I would dress in light colored reflective clothing. No stripes, I mean head to toe reflective clothing. I'd also have flags, and flashing lights all over the thing, warning bells, horns, and I'd be pulling one of them big commercial spotlights that waves back and forth and that you can see from across the city. Oooh, I'd also hire two escort vehicles to drive in front and behind me (wide load signs optional).

Biking on the road around these parts is just too scary for me. Too many cell phone talkin', coffee drinkin', cigarette smokin', textin', make-up applyin', book readin', eatin', radio fiddlin'...folks out there.
