You seem to be reaching out for human interaction.  Consider joining a group bike ride.  People can be quite friendly.  The combination of exercise and social interaction would do you well.[/quote]I get plenty of interaction with others with other types of physical activity/ exercise  with out the gnawing fear in the back my head that i'm gonna get run over/off the road.  [/quote]

Since you can get run off the road in a car, you probably should retain that gnawing fear.  [/quote]  no fear, as I have a protective cage around me and seatbelts and airbags...[/quote]

Despite that many drivers die.   From collisions I mean. We won't even go into the effect of driving on long term health. [/quote]
