Thanks for sharing, and not too far off from my own story . . . and the reason I am back on my bike as I start my retirement years.
My family worries that I will get killed out biking by a crazy driver, and I might, but it's a risk I will take. According to the Pedestrian and Bicycle Information Center in 2014 there were 726 bicyclists killed in the US, but to put that in perspective there were about 610,000 people in the US that died of heart disease. I'm willing to take my chances on the bike instead of my couch!
