Sort of my position too. In a day where are actually cars that are referred to as "urban assault vehicles" and when I can be assured of seeing at least one genuine red light run every couple of days, and many late yellow light runs daily, I'd rather sit and shake my head from inside a steel enclosure than atop a cycle.
And yes, bicycling is my own personal "revenge" against traffic gridlock. The only downfall is that you inevitably have to pass through areas where you must tightly share the road with... well see above. Brian On 5/18/06, Hendrik Riessen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
When your time is up, it's up. To me the problem was that evey time I headed out for a ride I would shitscared that some idiot in a car would "not see me" and I would end up paying with my life because some dumb **** can't be bothered paying attention. I have children and their needs come before mine and in the end I did not enjoy riding any more. Anyway when I feel the urge to polish chrome I give the Merc some loving.
