You're quite right, everyone makes their own judgments. That's why I enquired about whether he felt experienced enough to understand how to protect himself in traffic. And yes, two-lane but fast roads are more dangerous than city streets. But collisions are rare, nonetheless. If I'd been reluctant to commute on roads like thise in the video, I'd have spent a lot less time on the bike.

Seriously? Never mind about the commuting, learn how to fix a flat before you next go out on the bike.
