Where I ride traffic is a little lighter, but not by as much as I would have expected. A lot of people running to the grocery stores, etc. I'm concerned for two reasons - one that since traffic patterns have changed, cars might not be as alert to bicycles and if there were an accident I would have to go to a hospital - last place I want to be right now.

I live in the city, there are nice hills in the residential neighborhoods, but no where to ride except streets.
