[QUOTE="Edward Sargent, post: 4015670, member: 912"]
I bike a lot and have become increasingly nervous on the roads. We live in Florida and have a lot of old people (I am 70 so not old) who just don't see you.  I don't go out on the roads except on Sunday mornings when traffic volume is down.  I bike on trails, but even there have to contend with dog walkers with extendo leashes, little Johnnie and his training wheels, rollerbladers who don't think there is any one behind them as they slalom side to side and little Johnnie learning to walk! Don't tell me to get a bell or to announce I am on their left - they have earbuds in and don't hear a blessed thing. I have been hit by cars twice, once by an Axel Rose looking space cadet who hit me head on when he turned in front on me in an intersection (fractured hand bruised kidneys) and another time by an octogenarian who also cut me off and I was able to put the bike on the ground and slid along the road on my hip (no broken bones but some nice scars).  I just bought a Peloton because I am still uncomfortable going to spin class and I must say its kind of like kissing your sister (and I don't have a sister).  Thank goodness Ray is OK!
