Wow, I didn't realize there were so many MState folks on this board. I'm a '95 grad and commuter in Huntsville, AL.

I remember riding my mountain bike to classes back then without even realizing that I was a bike commuter. It was just the best way to get around campus. They've come a long way since then with the bike lanes and everything on campus. I've never really ridden with bike lanes, but I wonder sometimes if they aren't more dangerous. I guess you can get right-hooked anywhere.

Anyway, sorry about the accident jiminim. I hope your surgery and recovery go smoothly.
