This reads like a sideways "leave the bike at home or you'll die" post, but assuming the satirical tone is my own dark-humor brain, it does make sense to have things in order regardless of transportation methods. Fatal car wrecks happen every day.

To clarify, I don't live in a city, I live about 30 minutes outside of one, where almost everything is a 20+ minute drive. And it wouldn't be my main mode of transportation (I couldn't bike to work, I'm uncomfortable walking to my car at night when I get off, there's no way I'd bike home), just quick runs to the closest grocery store, or maybe some trips to the coffee shops that I've noticed I pass while driving to my longer errands.

 

Hey everyone! I've seen several posts here about cycling, so figured I'd see what suggestions you folks might have about starting to ride on suburban roads in the U.S.

Growing up, I lived in a big neighborhood and my dad and I would ride our bikes for fun on the weekends. We always made sure to follow all traffic laws, but we only road in the neighborhood. After I moved out I left my bike at their place for several years and only recently brought it home. I know I need to get it tuned up, but my real concern is: I want to use it as a local means of transportation, but I've never ridden on populated roads before. I'm terrified I'm going to get hit by a car and the fun will be over.

How do you get out and ride in a non bike friendly environment?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the info! I also can't memorize lace, but I still enjoy knitting it so I get what you're talking about. Please share your bixbite when you start it!

Brioche is on my list of things I want to learn in the near future! Is it fun? Is it complicated? Would you recommend this as a first brioche project? Looks great so far!

When possum Peter woke up early wanting bugs to eat

He decided some fresh fruits could also be a treat.

Remembering the month was June, he made sure to grab his flag

Not wanting anyone to think his motivation lag

"Oh Peter please, don't use that one!" His neighbor implored

"But it's true of me" of this conversation, Peter was bored.

It wasn't one or other: he didn't have to decide.

Peter carried his bi flag, on his errand, with pride.

It's a throw blanket for the living room. The yarn was on clearance so I could actually afford enough for an adult sized blanket. I got excited when she started exploring it though!
