I biked NYC, Newark for a while and Philly for a while. Compared to those places, this is heavenly. No dogs chasing me or worrying about a car door opening. The roads are alway perfect and clean with no potholes.

I wear a helmet and don't understand why everyone doesn't. Someone said there were 3,000 bike accidents. I wonder if they know about helmets accidents vs no helmet accidents. I started wearing a ski helmet too. When I was a kid no one wore a helmet unless you were playing football.
