Hey Joey. I'm familiar with your other commuting videos and philosophy. This is one of your best videos yet.

You must get asked this all the time, but what things do you do to mitigate risks? Do you have a bike with a narrow-cut handlebar, ride with extra lights/blinkies, or deck yourself out in hi-viz for each ride? Do you consider health and life insurance mandatory for your lifestyle? Do you ever plan out what you'd do if you ever got hit? Do you avoid or engage with angry drivers (or peds, for that matter)?

I could never ride the way you do but I think I could learn some things from you.
