Ya its def. not as bad up here as it is in the lower mainland.. I sold my last bike because of the same reason Berzerker just said.. found myself too many times goin WAY too fast.. Bikes are great, such a rush and you may be a great rider, but when it comes down to it.. you take a chance every time u get on.. and it probably wont be your fault when u crash, theres millions of other blind idiots out there who wont see you !
all that being said, will i ever buy another bike... hell yes i will..
but your parents have every right to be worried, and frankly i would too.. i worried for myself every ride.. but it never stopped me from riding till we had our baby.. priorities changed and im takin a break from it.. but i'l be back
