I don't know about where you people live, but the crack head's definatly can't run as fast as I ride. I keep them light's blazin and keep on peddalin. I my self have a foot in both worlds. I ride a well equiped bike, carry tool's, wear a bright yellow helmet, a saftey vest, reflective pant retainer, oh and my helmet has a mirror on it. I am a bit more anarcical when it comes to the way I ride. I basically follow traffic laws that I benefit me, and I ride my bike absolutley everywhere. I don't drink alcohol because I refuse to ride drunk, I do ride stoned a bit, but I've done it enough and there is really no difference in my riding ability. I also ride more cautiosly while stoned so I'm actually safer than normal, but slower.
