Yep, I'm in total agreement with you. If I need to go to the grocery/video store, I'll hop on the mtn bike and cruise up there. If need be, I'll ride up to Checker for stuff for my truck later, even though trying to cross Apache Trail/Ellsworth on bike is akin to vehicular suicide. :) But I wouldn't ride to work (32 miles one-way), I have to draw the line somewhere.
