Safety

So this has been on my mind since I recently picked cycling back up again.
There are tons of moments that happen with every ride where a rider, that's
me, are put in positions that could be compromising. This occurrence usually has
something to do with a motor vehicle that has 4 or more wheels but that's not
always the case. It seems that there is a hate for slow moving bikes and that
getting to work, or the bar, or where ever you are going is much more important
than someones physical safety. These are just my thoughts here. My life has changed
drastically since owning and operating 2 wheeled vehicles in more ways than
I can count.

So I leave you with this comment made by mi cora a new motorcycle
rider in 2008. -Everyone should have to take the motorcycle safety course to
know exactly what it's like to be the vulnerable one on the road-

I think I'll up the ante with -Everyone that wants a drivers license should be made
to commute on a bicycle to and from work or school for 200 miles before a license
will be issued- Lets put everyone in the situation so they experience first hand
what it's like to be "that guy or girl on the bike"

So here is my latest edition, maybe a long time coming but better late than never.
