Its a lot easier to fit the exercise time in when I make it part of my daily commute. Which means yes, its (usually) during rush hour, and not entirely on trails. But on the street I rode on today, in DC, I was pretty much keeping up with the cars. Traffic calmed grid of streets, for the win!

I get that. and not always will the bike trail lead you to your destination. i'd almost rather play russian roulette than ride a bike around here...

One more time. Its not that dangerous. Higher fatalities per mile than driving - yeah. But not an order of magnitude. I think in fact lower fatalities per mile than walking. And its great exercise.

But do what you like, biking can FEEL scary even when its not - and doing it safely in traffic means paying attention, which not everyone likes to do. But don't try to give others the impression it is dangerous.
