Cheryl was 30 year old single woman who enjoyed bicycle Riding. She loved to ride through the neighborhood. Everyone knew her as that nice friendly girl on the fancy bicycle. It was a hand crafted English racing bicycle, custom made just for her.

She was very proud of it because no onelse had one like it. One day she was riding her bicycle as a part of her daily routine. She rode past a wooded area in one of the neighbor hoods. There were usually lots of riders there, but today the trail was empty. As she passed a large brush, something hit her and made her loose control of her bicycle.

She fell and the bike went down too. As she was checking herself for injury, she saw a strange man approaching her he did not look very friendly. At that moment she realized that this guy had caused the accident and was about to cause her some major trouble. Lucklily she was not injured, so she rose to her feet, and started to run. The guy stopped, picked up her bike and proceeded to chase her.

She ran and ran until she came upon some other riders. She told them what had happened and they called the police. They also began a mob style chase of the guy with their bikes. They finally caught up with the guy and surrounded him until the police arrived. The guy was arrested and the bike returned to Cheryl.

Bicycle riding can be lots of fun. There are many hazards associated with riding bikes. Besides coexisting with other vehicles, bike riders have very little protection from the outside world. They are the subjects of animal, and vehicle attacks. They are also at risk from criminal attacks.

Always make sure your bicycle is in excellent mechanical condition as it may be you only means of escape in case of an emergency. Carry a cell phone to call for help, but do not rely on it for defense. If you choose to ride at night, keep your bike and yourself well illuminated. Obey the traffic laws when riding a bike.

If you choose to disobey traffic signals, you are more likely to become an accident victim. Ride on trails and roads designed for bike riding. Steer clear of area with low visibility. Criminals use this cover to hide for attacks. When possible, bike with a friend. There is safety in numbers and it makes you a less inviting target.

Carry a small package of emergency supplies with you on your ride. Bicycling is much like being a pilot you should file a plan that tells someone where you are going, in case of emergency. If you are going to park your bike be aware of the area where you park.

A parked bike is an indication that someone is riding and will return to claim the bike. A criminal can stake out the parking area and wait for you to return. As with automobiles check the area upon approach to your bike. Always lock your bike and be aware of your surroundings when unlocking.

People are looking to exotic locations for their next biking tour. Exploring the world from the seat of a bike is one of the last great adventures. From Scotland to Australia, Alaska to Africa, there are many great places to experience heaven on earth – if you are prepared.

You must consider several things before buying a plane ticket and globe trotting with your bike.

Grades

While the grades you’ll experience on the journey seem like a minor thing. However, the grade of the hills can be the difference between a fun excursion or a back breaking chore.

A tour guide in Scotland will have a drastically different idea of a ‘good’ bike trail than someone from a suburban area. A Scottish bike trail may consist of nothing more than a ledge on the edge of a mountain that is relatively clear of debris.

A bike trail in Australia may go 22 miles between water holes. Africa may have hours of trail exposed to the sun with no shaded rest areas.

This makes it important to hit the bike touring websites and take a look at the ratings of each trail. This website is an excellent place to find a good place to go touring: http://hobby.rin.ru/eng/articles/html/183.html

Have you taken workshops on handling hills? Have you practiced? An accident on a hill can have repercussions that last for months, even years. Never assume that the brochure is accurate. Always, prepare for the worst.

Elevation

Elevation is a common concern. Higher elevations have thinner air. Thin air effects endurance, muscles, heart rate, and oxygen absorption. Touring the mountains is no place for a weekend warrior or a desk jockey.

If you have your heart set on touring the mountains, get some physical training from climbers and people who have experience on mountains and high altitudes.

Escape Routes

When you visit websites that promote bike holidays, you’ll find tour routes that include escape routes. Face it, no one wants to ruin their holiday because they chose a trail that was too strenuous or dangerous for their tastes.

When planning your own trip, you loose some of the advantages of a professional review of the trip. While it may be fun to blaze trails, experienced cross-country bike enthusiasts should only try planning their own tours.

Lodging

Ten miles between lodging may sound comfortable to most people planning a biking tour. However, experienced cross country tour fans are not taken in by things that appear easy. That ten miles may edge stone fences, cross rivers, past foul smelling breweries, hog farms, or swamps, and over impossible ridges.

Visiting blogs and reading magazines will help you avoid problems when you embark on your own adventure.

The distance between lodging will become very important if the weather turns foul. There is nothing worse than being caught in a freak storm or a heat wave.

Repairs

Some of the out of the way locations lack shops that can fix high-end bikes. Something as simple as a broken lug can ruin an entire trip. It is better to take along some spare parts, even if you toss them in the garbage before the home trip.

Following these simple guidelines can make the difference between an exciting adventure that captivates audiences every time you tell it, or a nightmare that you just want to forget.

Mike Rosania asked:


I’m at a point in my life where I’m ready to cut down on partying. I don’t want to officially hang up my “cutting loose” habits, but I can only take so many yawn-filled mornings of bloodshot eyes and crooked smiles. I am ready to put those nights of loud clubs and expensive bar tabs behind me. Why the sudden lifestyle change you might ask? The answer—mountain biking. I think taking up this sport will jump start my active, healthy lifestyle.

Growing up, I have always been into bikes. It all started when I was six. My parents tried teaching me to ride a bike in a big field near our house—not the best idea. Have you ever tried riding through a field, let alone on a child’s bike with small wheels? It’s nearly impossible. Every bump, rock, and stick bounced me off the bike and landed my **** on the ground. My parents’ rationale was that falling in a field would be better than hitting the unforgiving pavement, which makes sense. But it is also nearly impossible to ride on this terrain, especially when first learning.

So one afternoon, I took off my training wheels and brought my bike into the driveway. I sat down on the seat, put my one foot on a pedal, pushed off and started riding. And as they say, the rest is history. I got older and picked up BMX; bunny hopping curbs and cruising around on pegs. When I hit college, I was over my dirt jumping phase, and got a road bike—pedaling for miles at a time. So it’s no surprise that mountain biking caught my eye– which is a sort of hybrid amalgamation of extreme maneuvers from BMX and long rides of road biking.

Back to my life story, I graduated college, picked up and moved to California. This state is absolutely beautiful. Last weekend, my girlfriend and I drove out of the city and spent a few hours exploring and admiring the west coast’s landscape. We hiked through a state park, which was awesome—but I’m not much of a hiker. I need something to get my heart pumping. We did discover a ton of mountain bike trails that the state park offered. And that’s when it hit me. Mountain biking looks like a blast! These guys flew past us on these gnarly mountain bikes, equipped with full suspension and rugged tires. The east coast didn’t offer trails like the west coast, which is probably why I never got into the sport. Now that I have all this terrain, I want to take full advantage.

So I started looking into bikes and am dieing to get one, but I ran into two problems. The bikes are very expensive and I drive a small Subaru whose seats don’t fold down. Plus, I wouldn’t want dirty, muddy tires all over my interior. I talked with a coworker who mountain bikes and he offered to lend me his old bike until I get my own. Great! But I need to get to the trails. My car doesn’t have a roof rack, so I looked for bike racks that mount to your trunk on the internet. If I can find a rack that mounts easily, I’m sure I will have no problem getting to the trails a few days a week and getting some exercise.
