I stopped biking on public roads because of the increase in bullying from drivers. Those fat frickers don't like seeing someone getting exercise and helping the environment at the same time, I suppose.
You're in Lexington right? Mayor Gray has made a lot of positive strides in making our major roads more friendly for bikers but I still don't risk riding areas that don't have clearly defined paths. I just don't have the faith in the drivers around here to ride out in the countryside like you see a lot of folks do. It's beautiful but all it takes is one horse trailer to come barreling around a corner, y'know?

I have almost been nailed several times by drivers not paying attention.


I would carefully survey the route, view alternate routes with less traffic, etc... before I would consider putting my life in the hands of a careless driver, this is not Europe.

I have driven motorcycles, SAFELY, for over 25 yrs, I would never REGULARLY commute in town, any town, on a motorcycle.
