biking in LA
« on: February 05, 2014, 09:16:18 AM »
Good start

I pedaled to work Monday morning, which I had never done before because all things considered, I'd like to go on living a while longer.

Yes, I admit it. I'm afraid to bike city streets in Los Angeles.

That's partly because I had a nasty bike accident several years ago, resulting in a head injury that erased all memory of what caused the crash. And it's partly because riding a bike on streets jammed with vehicles, many of them piloted by distracted and incompetent drivers, seems like a terrible idea. I don't swim in shark tanks, either.
