cycling is definetely the most dangerous thing i have participated in. but i am addicted, and feel the need to ride everyday. sometimes i have close calls...but i consider myself a "defensive rider" and altho i annoy ppl i'm sure with my hesitant actions, i like to be prepared for drivers cutting me off, passing too close, drifting in the bike lane, etc.

my life has been a nightmare tho. cycling is beautiful. its the only peaceful part of my whole existence. i hope i die on my bike. i hope one of these days a nice big truck wipes me out. i am ready for it.
