GAMER VET
It takes me 30 mins to arrived at home from work. I carry my cell phone all the time with me & I also use my light for I could see better in the dark. I go about 19 mph in my bicycle. I try to avoid dark areas or shortcuts. And yes I am street smart too. Any advice? Please no stupid answers. Thanks guys.
Answer
There are several different things you need to be doing.
* Research bike and other laws in your area, so that no solution inadvertently violates some rule
** you might stop by a police station & ask for suggestions as to what is legal, not legal, common mistakes other people in your situation make that you can avoid with their advice
* Make sure cars can see you from a distance
* Protect yourself from spills and scrapes
* Protect yourself trom monsters & trolls
Cars see you
==========
You should be wearing light colored clothing
You should have a light colored safety helmet
You need to have reflectors or rear light
It does not hurt to have extra reflectors
I have seen pedestrians with reflectors on their shoes
I have seen bikers with reflectors on their clothing
Protection from accidents
====================
Safety helmet
Goggles ... so insects do not fly into your eyes, dust also
Long sleeves, and cover your legs ... so if there is a fall, your body is muffled from scrapes and scratches
Years ago, I was on a motor scooter, went around a curve too fast, skidded, and my body fell onto gravel ... o o o o o h h
Protection from monsters and trolls
===========================
Have at easy grasp, like on a chain around your neck
* Loud whistle
* Mace
Be able to do 911 on your cell in a jiffy
If there is someone normally home about the time you get home ... you might want to phone them right before you leave work, have them know the route you travel, so if you not get home wihin an hour, they could come looking for you
or from the other end ... a friendly co-worker ... if you & they leave about same time & if they about same distance from their home in travel time ... you call each other after you get home "I'm Ok" If no call, friends try to check up on each other

What is a good beginner road motorcycle?
Double Cen
I need to be able to ride on the freeways, but not have TOO much power. This will be my first motorcycle. Otherwise I ride a road bicycle. I have a budget of up to 4000 dollars, but that includes clothing and helmet. Something that will be cheap to maintain and user-friendly. Thanks.
Answer
My choice would be a Honda Shadow. If you do some research you'll notice that almost everyone agrees that Hondas are the most user friendly motorcycles. They are very easy to ride. As for maintenance, a Honda will run forever. They're very reliable. Those courier guys use Hondas for some reason.
