Eliminated riding near cities long ago. Now it's on back roads in the country where I live and during the week when traffic is at a minimum. If I ever do another cross country it will be all back roads.....lots of in-a-hurry/distracted cagers everywhere but they're condensed in the cities and that's no place for me. Lost enough friends to idiot drivers.

But in the city? No chance. Not only am I bound by law, but the drivers around here (and I doubt it's any different anywhere else) scare me to death.
Ditto to that. Regardless of the laws, the ONLY time I don't wear a helmet is when "diddly bopping around" the battlefields in Gettysburg.
