Even though I wear a helmet, I'm against making it mandatory. I am all for making motorists learn to share the road. I feel that is the bigger problem.
We have police on bicycles and that helps tremendously as they ride bicycles that look much like ours and they wear a *summer* police uniform, if you will, and people really are not looking for them, so some of the non respcting motorists are treated to an occasional big surprise.
Agreed, on the ipod thing. I don't do it while running either. What ever happened to my personal safety. In the gym, yes I do.
Beater Bicycle....well I should include my S/O in this I guess. Maybe if she has a bike she semi sorta likes, she might enjoy riding a little more. She scoffed at kayaking in the beginning too, but now loves it and is pretty good at it. Thats why I'm very patient with the slow riding and the pushing it up hills ect....I'm used to the beater, but she calls it THAT PIECE OF SHIT
