When I said bike, I did not mean motorcycle...

As above and in another post, my commute is either 25 or 30 miles
depending on the route I take. That varies depending on freeway
construction that has been going on now for about 5 years or so. :-P

I meant bicycle.

But I agree with the helmet thing. Not wearing a helmet is foolish.
As is wearing no seatbelt. I wore a seatbelt long before it ever became
law.
