At age 50, I ride very conservatively. You have to drive as though you are invisible. Everyone is going to pull out in your lane. Everyone is going to run the red light so look both ways. I high sided once at low speed on gravel and now have a healthy respect for it. While my state does not require lids, I wear a full face everywhere except tooling around the block. I have a scratched helmet and leathers to prove my case.Fortunately, I now live on the outskirts of a small college town so I don't have to go far to get away from traffic. The traffic in Atlanta where I used to live was horrible.
