TBH to those of you who live in the cities...you're doing it wrong. People aren't supposed to live on top of each other and it shows every day. Thank you for the tips. I think I'll leave the lady at home. Seems to be more effort than it's worth to take her on the street. It's only a mile or two to the trail so I'll just load the bikes on the car for that.
Also, what is an MUP?
And do those traffic skills classes cost money or are they free?
