Maybe I should just stop reading these, but am I the only +50 who may be getting cold feet as a roadie?
Sandy Springs fistfight: a cyclist bites back | www.ajc.com and this weekend Baltimore Woman Cycling Cross-Country To Benefit Cancer Killed By Truck « CBS Baltimore

It's not really the story that irritates me, its the attitude of the commenters on the AJC article, and there are alot. All sharing the thought that we roadies don't belong. So far, riding on 9 here in Dahlonega/Dawsonville Georgia I haven't had any trouble... I'm using a flashing front and rear light and ride respectfully. It's just that more and more stories of cyclist killed, injured, or attacked are making mainstream media now.

I just got my bike a couple of weeks ago and working up to 20 mile rides. I really enjoy it, and chose this route rather than a mountain bike. Wondering if I made the right choice now...
