ah, if you're out in winder you should be ok. yes, i am crazy for riding here. after the second wreck, i pretty much conceded that i wouldn't ride while i lived here. so i moved back to nc and got the bike i have now. but work brought me back to atlanta so i just be extra careful. while i had to take GA 400 i would not commute with the bike except really nice days. it just increases your odds of a dumbass yuppie running you over tooooo much. but now my commute is 15 mins, no highway, so its not too bad. but still, too many soccer moms driving kids to school while everyone is phone yappin. dangerous.
if you can score a little honda CBanything for a few hundred bux, you got a nice little scoot to buzz around on. aside from the msf course, the BEST thing to do when learning is spend hours in a big empty parking lot. use tennis balls cut in half as "cones" and practice learning how to throw your bike around like you were born on it. practice your right turns from stops. really one of the easiest times to drop a bike and get run over.
and tip #1: your eyes will take you where you want to go. look there, go there. (look down, go down) always keep looking up to where you want to go and your hands will steer you through. on a bike, as long as you're upright and moving, you're still alive. (who cares if you're on the sidewalk!)
oh no kidding, kellykel? new? where have YOU been all my life? oh, the other side of the country.
the world needs more ladies into yotas AND cycles!!!
