It is confusing, and honestly, I don't think many drivers pay attention anyway. Ultimately, I don't trust anybody but myself.

I just feel like I have more control over the bike with clips or cages. I tent to pull my foot off of the pedal when I'm riding with a flat pedal now.

http://www.oregonlive.com is the website for the local daily paper. They have an online classified section. There is always http://www.apartmentfinder.com, but I never had luck looking there.
