Not trying to sound arsey - but do remember that cars can be very dangerous as well!
Not saying don't do it, just that when you're driving a car, remember that the biggest 'safety' factor is the person controlling the vehicle, rather than the vehicle it's self.

Personally, I've seen (and been involved in) more nasty car crashes than bike crashes. When talking about bikes, lots of car drivers some how seem to think they're invunrable compared to bikes.

true.

Mass...You buying a bike was obviously one of economical reasons and so if the maths don't work for you then best to get out.

No matter what negative comments you make you will not put off those that simply have a bike for the sheer love and enjoyment of it. Therefore speak freely and don't be a stranger. :wink:

Good luck to you fella, just remember to leave an hour earlier on the comute.
