you could be just as stressful thinking of the same things that can happen to you or your bike. when you lock your bike out front of a store. do you not worry about someone cutting your chain and riding off on it. Or some punk stealing your seat or wheels? deflating your tires? loosening your handlebars? how about riding on the roads, do you ever think about that tired long haul truck driver or drunk driver coming up behind you riding over the fog line? Riding through a sketchy neighborhood do you often wonder how vulnerable you are on a bike compared to if you were in a car? how about riding in the rain during the colder months, moreso as you get older, do you think about your chances of catching pneumonia?
