Regarding riding on the sidewalk, it is illegal for anyone over the age of 13
where I live in Northern California (also not SF). That said, there is a busy
stretch of my commute where two left turn lanes turns into another busy road.
Although I feel highly self-conscious about it, I have
Well here's another Paul adding a response.
I relate to a lot of what has been shared and appreciate many of the thoughtful
responses.
Also, I'm another cyclist getting up there in years beginning about age 35 with
my first good bike.
It's hard to get my mind around it but I am about 3 years

I'm the same age as you are. My desire to ride ebbs and flows over time. I'm
