Only think that was my fault was leaving my jacket on the ground. The rest wasn't my fault.
Several times I've almost been hit. Getting better at reading other drivers. When I come up to an intersection where a car is perpendicular to me, I slow down. On the open road, I crack the throttle.
When riding a bike, there are two types of drivers that are the most dangerous:
1. People making left turns who get half way through the turn, then hesitate.
2. People crossing or turning on to the lane you're driving in.
Otherwise, it's not bad riding a bike. It's a fun thing to do. I really enjoy riding my bike. I also like riding through campus taking my girlfriend to class. When she's with me, I drive wayyyy slower and am really cautious.
The interstate is great. I can turn a half hour drive into a 15 minute drive. Later this morning I'm going somewhere that's supposed to take 18 minutes. It'll probably take me 10.
If/when I settle down with someone, I'll stop riding. Otherwise, if I crash, I crash. It's not like I have a family that depends on me for support. :shrug:
That's some shit
