Sometimes it takes one instance, and at least you made it out okay!! Thanks for sharing that! Next CicLAvia, you should join us out there! It was a blast today! I'll be posting pictures soon.<br /><br />Kevin, how'd you do? Wasn't it awesome?!! I can't wait for the next one! I was so charged that instead of taking the Orange Line home I biked the distance - and even around the lake (in Lake Balboa). What a great day!! :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03807540258840190972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3404302351458508234.post-73032041236702425092010-10-08T12:20:40.800-07:002010-10-08T12:20:40.800-07:00Glad you're back on the saddle, again.

Bike rides are dynamic, not only are there multiple routes to my destination, each ride is completely different. <br /><br />As for proper equipment, I agree, you need it. I ride with front and back lights both flashing if I am riding with traffic, and one of those orange safety vests construction workers wear. I actually got hit when I was 18. It was a small accident, I was lucky. I was heading down the street on the side walk, in all black with no lights, going the wrong way- I got hit while the driver was going 5 miles per hour as she was pulling out into the street from a stop, and i just fell over onto her car. My bike was trashed, and after that I started biking smart. <br /><br />PS: The law wont be on your-side either if you get hit and you don't have lights and such, as it is technically Illegal. <br /><br />PSPS: This is Max From English 355 with Kitty Nard!!Genjinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314296171684047312noreply@blogger.com
