Still, I keep thinking I should trade my one way 4 mile car commute for a bike ride... my fear of being struck while riding on a short half mile long section of limited sight distance hilly roads between home and work gives me some pause. We are starting to get some bike lanes and more bike friendly roadways around here though (as well as some paved greenways). Well, since Fred stipulated a Honda 600, I took him to mean a motorbike. But I rarely ride those now, whereas I cycle a lot. I live in central Prague, Czechia, which is _extremely_ bike-unfriendly. It's even worse than London. But I do the 4 miles to work, and 4 miles back, most days in the summer. anymore since I've got kids and a wife that count on me. :) No wife, although working on it, no kids, but still... if I didn't bike, I'd be even less fit and so less likely to stick around long. I've been in 1 bad bicycle crash (compound comminuted Colley fracture right ulna & radius), 1 bad motorcycle crash (multiple breaks to left ankle, tibia, fibula, femur and hip, fracture to right shoulder, dislocated left shoulder, whiplash), but I still ride both when I can. -- Liam Proven ?
