I can get to everything by bike ... it's a college town and there are a lot of bikes. I've lived in places where ... well, I don't know if I"d bike there or not.

I do know that I'm cycling places that used to scare me ... but I"m pretty easily scared. I also bike for lots and lots and lots of reasons ... so my comments about other lifestyles being risky includes risking the earth, too. I'd just love it if enough people cycled so there weren't enough cars to run over us...

(and inatree, yea, we want you HERE... watch out for them trucks and be nice to yourself!)
