My parents have offered to buy me a car in the attempt to get me from riding my bike. They are just way too scared that something "bad" might happen to me. My dad even cried one day, but I'm still riding... I do my shopping, go to work, visit my friends, and whatever else needs to be done. I don't even like public transportation anymore. The only reason why I took a bus recently was because my nephews (4 and 6 years old and pretty tall for their age) were visiting, and my sister-in-law said their bikes wouldn't fit in her car, or else we would have been riding the streets of Chicago too- instead, I had to jump buses with them. It still sucked, though.
