Age can slow you down enough to really see your surroundings. Damn!!
Conditions change... drastically in some cases. The road in front of my house used to be rural ~1,000 cars a day on average. Now it is suburban with over 12,000 cars a day, with ZERO improvements in infrastructure. I will no longer ride my bike on that road, unfortunately it is the ONLY road that I can ride on to get anywhere. They have plans to widen part of the road... in 2018
and there are no plans for pedestrian or cycling facilities. The destruction of America continues.
