Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Thanks for the reminder.

Fortunately (or unfortunately) I spend plenty time in Mount Vernon, NY, where every intersection is an adventure. I'm used to large numbers of drivers running lights, or racing to beat ones about to change, making turns from poor lance placement, and (my personal worst) cutting lefts too close, and chopping the corner where cars or bicycles may be coming to a stop.

Riding in a flea circus is good training, and conditions the brain to treat every intersection as if there were no lights or stop signs. I'm always thinking about what a driver may do, rather than what he should do.
