My wife shares the same concern especially since I have to ride through the most dangerous town in the USA... Camden, NJ. Deaths almost out weight births. Shoots all over the place, etc.

But that would not stop me. I needed to commute for the exercise. And when my mind is set, no one can stop me. Just how I am.

But to help her understand and feel better I do the following:

- text her when I am about ready to leave and when I get to work. Doing this will really help her feel better.
- Map out the route for her and addresses a long the way.
- I drove her some of the route before
- Use quality lights and reflective gear!

At the end of the day, it was my choice and it is yours too.
