I do find it easy to let the various conditions others may have to contend with slip my mind. My home is on the flatlands; I can bike for miles and my biggest enemy is wind and cold. Just came in from a bike ride on the West coast and wow- I get more winded in 1/10th of a mile going up the many steep grades here than I do after miles on the flat back home. Also, brake failure- on a bike or a car- back home wouldn't be that big of a deal- I'd drive it home anyway and make repairs there. I could never do that here. Good strong brakes are a MUST. This hilly warm place is perfect for hybrids and there are a lot of them out here! Back home, hybrids really don't make much sense.
