If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you might miss it!"<BR/>Glad you are not missing it!! ; )Ferdhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13133599848717783477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808607983380096214.post-40537909040679772642008-08-21T06:34:00.000-05:002008-08-21T06:34:00.000-05:00Roxy - Y'know, I've actually thought of starting a separate blog just for stuff about Minnesota. I'll check it out!<BR/><BR/>Darren - Yup, I've seen all the safety questions on various forums. Oh and I came across your site a few days ago (probably through Stumbleupon). Fantastic website!Berryvoxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17593751624808449883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808607983380096214.post-11724040953005343942008-08-20T22:12:00.001-05:002008-08-20T22:12:00.001-05:00The second biggest question I get from my readers at BicycleTouringPro.com has to due with safety. People are afriad of a lot of strange things... and in most cases, there is nothing to be afriad of. <BR/><BR/>I'm more afraid of growing old and having not done everything I wanted to than I am of being attacked by a gear, robbed in the city, or hit by a car. <BR/><BR/>Get out there and ride your bike. There's not much to be afraid of. <BR/><BR/>Be smart, do your homework, and act accordingly, but otherwise... get on your bike and ride!Bicycle Touring Pro - Darren Alffwww.bicycletouringpro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808607983380096214.post-76563313956673960832008-08-20T20:43:00.000-05:002008-08-20T20:43:00.000-05:00Hey Great Post!<BR/><BR/>When you explain like that, it all makes perfect sense. I must admit I would love to get out of those long car trips and just walk, but my husband is always in a hurry to get to our destination. I am not in a hurry however and would much rather take my time enjoying the view. <BR/><BR/>Yes, and meeting people and spending time talking to them must truly be a treat. You are fortunate to have such a carefree spirit and trusting heart. Sounds like you are well grounded and very comfortable in your own skin. That is a good thing, a very good thing. I am even a little envious of your strong disposition and determination.The Fearless Bloghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03555277906740439990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5808607983380096214.post-79561550565682508712008-08-20T19:29:00.000-05:002008-08-20T19:29:00.000-05:00Berryvox,<BR/>Here with my BOTB vote for the bad 1930's housewive candidate on Wednesday night at the beach in Bay Head, NJ.
