This reads like a sideways "leave the bike at home or you'll die" post, but assuming the satirical tone is my own dark-humor brain, it does make sense to have things in order regardless of transportation methods. Fatal car wrecks happen every day.

To clarify, I don't live in a city, I live about 30 minutes outside of one, where almost everything is a 20+ minute drive. And it wouldn't be my main mode of transportation (I couldn't bike to work, I'm uncomfortable walking to my car at night when I get off, there's no way I'd bike home), just quick runs to the closest grocery store, or maybe some trips to the coffee shops that I've noticed I pass while driving to my longer errands.

Hey everyone! I've seen several posts here about cycling, so figured I'd see what suggestions you folks might have about starting to ride on suburban roads in the U.S.

Growing up, I lived in a big neighborhood and my dad and I would ride our bikes for fun on the weekends. We always made sure to follow all traffic laws, but we only road in the neighborhood. After I moved out I left my bike at their place for several years and only recently brought it home. I know I need to get it tuned up, but my real concern is: I want to use it as a local means of transportation, but I've never ridden on populated roads before. I'm terrified I'm going to get hit by a car and the fun will be over.

How do you get out and ride in a non bike friendly environment?

Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Could be, I'm not a very consistent photographer or a morph expert lol. I just like watching her explore.

I think she just enjoyed exploring the folds/irregular hiding places. It's a pretty thick yarn so it probably gives her a feeling of security.

True, he sleeps all sorts of ways that look uncomfortable from a human perspective!

She sounds adorable! And that's hilarious! We used to have a lab-size total mutt (75lb, no clue what breeds) and he would try to sleep in our 15lb border terrier/miniature poodle mix's bed. We had to stop him though because he was flattening the sides making it unusable for the smaller pup.
