Going to look at a bike Sunday

thing to remember about commuting on a bike is what you save on fuel up front is going to be minute compared to what it may cost when you fall. notice i said when, not if. everybody i know that has commuted on a bike, myself included, has fallen. i have only fallen once in over 300k miles on a bike, but it was no fun. been ran off the road mote times than i care to admit. have had to dodge ladders, shovels, toilets, various pieces of furniture. pretty much you name it. gotten bumped by a few idiots in cages, luckily never fell.
