People wonder why I wear so much armor when I ride my bike. Partially for cars and collisions, partially for defense.
People are like allergic to bikes out here. I purposely got an ebike that looks like a motorcycle just because it does so well in the snow and because cars don't bat an eye at it.
Playing chicken with lifted Ram trucks isn't very fun. Neither is "stray" bullets on rural back roads. By the way, those people shoot like stormtroopers.
Everything you said is spot on.
