your mom is just being a mom, God love her.. what ways do u want her to try harder in convincing you not to get a bike? it this a motorcycle or bicycle? there is a guy that lives around here that rides a bicycle. he doesnt follow the rules of the road. he gets up in peoples blind spots and will take off when lights turn green for him to go straight and the car may turn right. he hasnt gotten hit but people honestly cant see him.

if its a motorcycle i work in 2 icus heart and neuro. motorcycle accidents are not pretty.
