Agreed. A 101 class is a good idea, but I believe tirby (and myself/owlie) is facing busy urban roads, in a city that is not all that bike friendly. I just don't know if I'd ever feel safe and comfortable riding on four lane congested road up a two mile hill with 15% grades.

Sometimes you feel no other option but to drive your bike to a safe place to ride.
