ComandanteBanana is right about the roads and streets being unfriendly to
cyclists. Florida is an especially dangerous state for cyclists. Even

he doesn't realize it, I am on his side.


OK, welcome aboard. The cost of healthcare is even making autoworkers

prohibitively expensive for the Big Three.

On the subject of Florida roads, we often don't even have sidewalks to

walk on. I walked today for 80 min. (a distance I could have biked in
20 min.) and even so I had to walk on the road part of the way. We are
not even an afterthought.

ComandanteBanana is a true road warrior. I used to be one myself, but
decided I would rather live to a ripe old age than die young. He is very
smart to walk his bike whenever necessary. I do that too when conditions
warrant it.

Thank you. In the jungle SURVIVAL IS THE MOST IMPORTANT CONCERN. But
you don't just become a couch potato (which is what they want so you
become sick and dependent on the healtchcare industry), just adapt to
the conditions. I still bike and kayak, but do so on protected bike
paths (which you endorse) or go out at night in the case of the kayak.
