The trouble with bikes is not that you may or may not be an idiot while riding. Like Scott said, it's unlikely you're going to wipe out a family of 5 on their way home from church no matter how retarded you got. The problem is that even if you are 100% non-idiot on your bike, your day can be pretty much ruined by the multitudes of phone-talking, burger-chomping, coffee-swilling, asshat drivers all over the road. Then there's the practical consideration of the fact that we live in the shadow of the Sierras and it's winter.
