Now I live in LA and riding my bike in the street is seriously dangerous. I now ride a motorcycle because it's safer than riding a bicycle in the stree. Yes, safer. The speed difference on 35 or 40mph uphills is so significant that on curvy roads my bicycle is significantly more dangerous than a motorcycle. That's why I don't ride as much anymore. keno.

It's a shame that that's slowed you down (I'm always sad when something keeps me out of the saddle). You should change it! If you don't know how to do it yourself, http://www.bicycletutor.com has great video tutorials. Thanks for the comment Lori!
