[RC] Riding along roads - Ridecamp GuestPlease Reply to: Deb Ambrose mkkgs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx or ridecamp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ========================================== Everyone can assess their own level of risk tolerance, as a kid I fearlessly rode along highways, suburban sidewalks, concrete pedestrian overpasses, anywhere without fear. Even though my horse has improved, I will tresspass, ride on a railroad track for a mile, or trailer to avoid the 2-lane, 60mph highway with sloping shoulders. People throw garbage out the window at bicyclists, honk and swerve at runners, and just plain run off the road (look at the tracks) enough to make me never do it. Last year several people and horses were killed near here (rural South-central North Carolina) when a car slammed into the back of people riding and pulling a wagon on the shoulder of a more quiet country 2-lane. Please be careful! Deb Ambrose Aberdeen, NC =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
