I just restarted biking a couple of months ago. I ride every day. I ride strictly for fun, 10-15 miles a day usually. I ride on busy four-lane streets, quiet residential streets, and the American River Bike Trail. Like johndeere I obey the law at all times—stopping at stop signs, hand-signaling, using the left-turn lane, etc.—with one exception: I do not hesitate to leave the street in favor of brief interlude on an empty sidewalk when I believe my life depends on it.
