Is it possible these days not to drive?

Yeah, don't be scared.
When I was 14 I was attempting to do a stunt on a BMX track.
I fell off and cracked my tender regions on the handle bar.
I thought I was going to die, I was in so much pain.
Once feelings returned, and I bought a BMX, and dumped my mountain bike (that was my mistake).
I learnt to forgive bikes for being so wicked.
Now I don't hold a grudge.

Go for it.

 

lode, I see.
Fair enough.

 

i wish more interstates/highways/whatever allowed biking on them

 

Wouldnt catch me on an interstate riding a bike.

 

Yeah but I imagine it wouldn't be pleasant becoming the good friend of an 18-wheeler going seventy.

 

Yeah now there's the task of getting the money to buy one and convincing people that i'd actually ride it so I could get the money. I'll have to do some bike therapy to get over my fear.

 

No kidding.

 

Mmm, yeah.
I use my dads old one.
You will find a way, if you try, i'm sure (forgiveness/getting a bike).

 

after the first few trucks go rumbling by, its really not much of a concern...at least for me it wasn't. i had a great time biking on the interstate

 

I will find a way. My brother owns two bikes. If only I was a guy and a foot taller.

 

There maybe trouble ahead.

 

trouble ahead?

its how we got through much of North Dakota

 

Well hell a person do a great many of foolish things just to get the hell outta North Dakota. Cant say's I blame y athere.

 

I have heard it is possible just not where I live. I am in Dallas and with the temp and the humidity I would die before I got where I was going. Although we should all walk a little more and save the plaint the stress

 

It's hot here to. Really hot and humid. The car I drove in had no air conditioning to.

 

Ok.

Rather you than me.

 

funny you mention that...i got lost in North Dakota...long story short, i went 20 miles off in a different direction...next day biked 147 miles to catch up with the group in 9 hours

 

What bike do you have?
I have an image of you on a mountain bike.
If that is what you are talking about - you are a mad man.

 

this is the bike i used on my trip


2000 Cannondale T-800

 

That sounds like alot of work. Kudos to you.
