vehicles used mainly for fun and self image. Only die hards are seen on the road when temps dip below 70 degrees or when its raining because riding when its cold and wet is misery at its finest, cycling stops being fun when your skin turns blue or the rain starts leaving bruises on your exposed skin. Then there is the roads themselves that are ill repaired, your body takes a real beating from riding on rough roads, mostly it is a cause of the back jarring event that happens when you hit pot holes, with hard tails,( custom cycles with no rear shocks ) it is even worse on the back.

Cycling can get right down nasty with weather, but also with the near misses you get the added mental stress and anger that goes with having a nit wit cutting you off or backing out of their drive ways with just a glance at the road. Sure cyclings a lot of fun, but no real cyclist gets on a cycle without knowing his/her fun adventure could end up being their last on this earth or the last they might be able to walk because cycling is dangerous.
