I respect you biker folks for the whole freedom & wind in your face thing. But I'm totally afraid of the other guys on the road, and that's why I don't think I'll ever get on a bike (other than the pedal variety...). A friend of mine at work was nearly killed by an errant driver who changed lanes into him while he was commuting to work. The helmet probably saved him. But he's kept that shredded suit as a reminder.......
