    Nah I get it. But it is also a reason why I think it is a stupid way to workout

    I remember my cousin walking along a trail, and a biker announced "on your left!" as he approached him. For some reason, cousin moved to his left, and biker almost hit him. He chewed cousin out.

    Every activity has its dangers. Running can get you hit at intersections, too, as well as hit on sidewalks by moron "bikers" who think they're okay to bike on sidewalks. Weightlifting can tear muscles and break bones, especially if you drop a barbell or a weight on yourself (or a machine breaks). Treadmills can catch shoelaces and break ankles or even kill someone smaller, like a child. It all has risk. Cycling, though, has kept me sane during the pandemic. It's truly a zen moment for me, I can lose myself in hours of just moving and let stress and worries melt away. Hell, through the pandemic I lost some 30lbs overall, and I wasn't even overweight to begin with.

    You'd be surprised how often that happens. I've had a few close calls like that, but it remains the law in IL, you are required to say "on your [side]" passing people on shared trails.

    I'm to afraid to drive, because I don't want to get in an accident. I have too much anxiety about stuff anyways
    I don't play WoW anymore smh.

    True, but if one the way for you to workout is to purposfully ignore the rules you operate within and where others are expected to follow them for you to be fine, it seems stupid to me.

    I was lucky that when I lived in seattle there were lots of really good paved trails that had almost no intersections for motorized vehicles.

    You absolutely should!!!
    The Burke Gilman trail is the one I used and it connects to other trails along the way. It takes you through at least three different cities on your way to Seattle. A good portion of it follows a river with lots of nice parks and sights along the way. You can start off in Bothell (a beautiful little city), go through Woodinville (another very nice little city), Redmond, and Sammamish.
    Mercer Island is also another very popular spot for cyclists and has gorgeous views.

    Also, that is a sexy bike. Definitely my colors.

    Funny enough I carry a third in my pack. I only take that much water on longer rides that are between 50 and 120 miles.
