[Tfug] Rob Levin died..

[erich]

Always wear bright colors,

        I am certain that doing so has saved my life at least once. Sundays
are my favorite time for a bike run because of minimal SUV's then. The
other thing I'd like to say is that motorists are more aware of cyclists
on frequented routes, so stick to them, (Aviation bikeway is one of my
favorites). Gates Pass I'll never do. Too dangerous.
