I gave up bicycles when I turned 16 for motorcycles with the
logic "Now I can outrun cars...."

They still don't see you, even at night with your headlight on
drivers will cut you off with frightening regularity. I gave up on
motorcycles after seeing two young riders get splatted by a 'queen
mary' [any large car] while driving down the road. The bikers were in
their lane driving sanely, the cars just ran them down. ? Anyway, the
light from a Honda CA-77, CB-350, CB-360 wasn't anything to write home
about and it was easy to outdrive your headlight, outdrive refers to
driving faster than you can see ahead. [perhaps one shouldn't drive
80MPH on narrow back roads.....] ? Now this headlight would let you
see far enough ahead to be useful....but blind the poor sod coming at
you so he'd probably splat you. ? While I've kept my motorcycle
endorsement, that's more because I'm stubborn then practical. There is
no way I'd ride a motorcycle unless my life depended on it. I suspect
my artificial knees would be most displeased. ? Consider the project
as proof humans can do amazingly stupid things....I'm proud to be a
member of such an inventive species. Worry about our long term
survival chances, but what the heck, we can have fun in the mean time.
