-wherever you ride, remember to help another biker out...a month ago, I had a hole rubbed in my tire by front brakes: spare tube but no spare tire. After a short walk ended in a bike trail parking lot where I was able to hitch, with my bike, a ride 15 miles to my car. This evening I was able to pay that favor "forward" by completing my ride then returning to a point on trail to meet a rider whose chain had broken to drive him home.
Risky? So is life I guess, but let's help one another out when we can!

Good point. About a year ago I was biking the trail for the day and had an accident. A stick bounced up and lodged in my chain which brought my bike to an abrupt stop and I fell over on the rocky surface. I was pretty banged up and bleeding on my leg, shoulder and arm. Another biker with a flashy bike outfit (with head to toe advertisements) buzzed right past me and didn't even stop to see if I was okay. If I would have seen another biker in that condition I would have stopped to render assistance.
