No actual experience, but I was just thinking about this yesterday. I should probably keep my hybrid in shape and/or put cross tires on my old roadie.

My bf and I have also talked about getting enduro sport motorcycles in case of emergency (ok and for fun too) - traffic would be a major cluster, and we might need to ride over things. If we needed to get out of town in a hurry, that would be a good choice.

Glad your daughter is all right, Mr. Bloom!
