It’s dangerous out there, you couldn’t pay me to ride a motorcycle or bicycle these days. I used to ride a motorcycle a fair bit, but found I was riding it less and less. It took up a fair amount of real estate in my garage and I decided an expensive coat rack wasn’t worth insuring, registration and all that stuff. I like driving, but I hate traffic. Way too many nutbars on the road these days.

Even jogging. I lived on a divided road with a wide grassy boulevard and sidewalks on both sides, but joggers insist on running on the road in traffic. I don’t get it. Jogging is presumably done mostly for health reasons but it doesn’t look very healthy to me. Find a trail somewhere.
