The morons are there if you drive or ride your bike whereever you are. The way you said look over your shoulder I kinda wonder if you have a mirror, I think a mirror made me feel safer than any other purchase. I have been riding for years, I would not ride without one. No matter where you ride dont trust anyone, ever, even if you are in a bike lane. I dont know which little town you live in or where you could move to, but Indy is getting to be pretty bike friendly.
