As far as safety issues, when we moved here my wife had similar concerns. We bought her a GEM, it has seat belts, doors, windshield wipers, and upgraded brakes. It's street legal so you can take it on the street, on the multi-modal paths, and/or on the golf course. She absolutely loves it, and more importantly, she feels safe. Of course there are risks, but you could say the same for walking, riding your bike, or eating at some restaurants. For me, it is all about enjoying my time that i still have on this planet.

That's good to know, cappyjon. I may cave eventually. It's early days yet for us.
