Hard to think of a big city as a safe place to bicycle, although I
never had the chance to try it in a big city. By the time I was 9
we had moved out to the country where it was fairly safe biking
around, but there was a lot of distance to cover.

I had a friend that lived 7 miles from me and at times I'd bike out
there in the morning, come home for lunch, and then back out there
again for the afternoon.

It was about 1.25 miles to school and in summer I used to bike
there all the time.. It probably bothered my parents more than I
knew since there was a bus that stopped at the end of our driveway.
