3 Most important things:

1. Always, Always, Always make eye contact with the driver when you meet a car at an intersection. Make sure he sees you and doesn't run over you! You will get seriously fucked up if you try to break Newton's law and occupy the same space as a car.

2. Wear a helmet.

3. If you live in a snowy area, get a studded front tire.[/QUO

Yes I have the helmet and thicker tyres, 35 years well done, why did you give it up?

I gave it up because I retired and no longer go to work. Plus, I moved to Kenya and you would have to be insane to ride a bike on these roads.

The thicker tires might help a bit in snow but will slip right out from under you if you hit a patch of ice. The only cure for ice is a studded front tire, honestly.

My fault left it in my garage, did not lock the bike or garage, so completely my fault, was shocked when the bike was not there. The worst thing was they tried to break into the house but failed miserably. Police came around took statement, looked for fingerprints and left their details. I was pleasantly surprised how good they were. however they will not catch the git and I am not insured.

However I will get another bike, but much cheaper.

Get a small pair of bolt cutters in case you see it at some school one day.. like tomorrow for instance. I'd be looking at the local schools, cops wont. Cant be that far away mate,its a push bike.
