There is plenty of good advise here to be safe on any vehicle. In Upstate NY I have a small car, bike rack, and a faired bicycle. For 5 miles I would ride the bike and look for the best route even if it adds another mile. If I get to the point where I can cruise the bike above 20 mph I will switch from a cycling helmet to a full face Bell helmet. I use the Bell in the winter anyway.
