Stuff in America is drawn out. Like super, dee-duper drawn out. Motorcylist get smashed up on the road. A biker has no chance against others. But even in places I've lived where they had bike-paths everyone I know who biked got smashed up at least once and had a long-term injury from it. Only the pretty extreme riders (as in wearing the spandex suits with the helmet with the lights on top and the bike that they lean forward on) are the people I've ever seen riding down a highway. I don't think I've ever seen any bikers on the freeway. A large problem that I've seen coast to coast is a lack of sidewalks. Or if there are sidewalks, a lack of upkeep on said sidewalks.
Also, hi sis!
*Also this is just what I've picked up on, there might someone else who can say the exact opposite. Just what I've learned as I've gone through life =)
