FWIW, I did, once, for a couple of days. With a fully loaded bicycle, (after riding ~2000Km to get there, but that's another story). I must admit that I was a bit scared. Turned out to be *extremely* relaxed, much more so than other cities I was used to. My guess is that the other drivers perceived us as a kind of strange-looking and *very* slow Vespa. More predictable, and thus easy to deal with :) Back to topic (or well: pop the topic stack): to halfway function you'll need the assumption that not everyone is out to kill you. Everything else goes as pathological disorder, for a reason. Of course, taking precautions that not everyone will manage not (unintentionally) killing you may prolong your life span. Cheers - t
