I honestly do not remember the last time that I rode my bike. I bought it the first time that gas was over $2.00 a gallon at Costco. I thought that it would be good exercise for school, but my sister said that riding the bus would be safer, and I could study at the same time--at least more than on a bike!

I never had anyone call me names just because I rode a bike, but I have had strangers randomly insult me because they were jerks--whether or not I was on a bike seemed irrelevant.

How often does this happen to you?
