Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Another Cycling Thread

This is one of the most useful write-ups I have encountered on bicycle safety. It identifies 10 scenarios in which riders are hit by cars. A risk mitigation measure in 6 of the cases is riding further left/further from the curb.

Here's another risk mitigation measure for both riders and walkers---lose the ear buds so you can hear what's coming from behind you.

Biggest problem with going around walkers on a path is that many of them have headphones in and are oblivious to the world around them. Could blast an air horn behind some of those idiots and not get their attention.

Or worse yet, two women "power walking" side-by-side and yakking about whatever. It's like the rest of the universe doesn't exist.

Some years ago there were 3 Holsteins walking side by side on the path chewing their cuds and occupying every bit of it. I could see them for a good while before I came up close to them. You'd think that their necks didn't work. I thought "screw it, I'll just go around in the grass." I went about 3 feet off of the asphalt. The right most one, for whatever reason took several side steps to the right off of the path, did some kind of pirouette thing and swung her fat addled arm wide when she did. She hit my handlebar with her hand. She let out a guttural bellow that sounded like a ship's foghorn on the adjacent river. I thought for a second about stopping, but decided there was no value in it.

I bet if they weren't Holsteins you woulda stopped and "rendered aid."

What could be more exciting than a new bicycle?

LOL

A new scooter and the Capri pants that come with it.

Did 40 miles this morning. I don't think I have gone that far since last fall.

You and Paul gonna start a "Dad took me out for ice cream" thread next?

LOL

Congratulations on finding the least difficult form of exercise available to man.

LOL

Nah, but I am interested in your opinion on which scooter is best for lizard huntin with a bb gun.

I would never use a scooter to hunt iguana but a Ruckus is great for fishing canals. Regardless of gates.

Congrats again on that new bicycle.

LOL

You want to fly over here and race me tough guy?

I thought you were all quarantined with Monkey Pox?

LOL

So you ride a scooter and dig on bicycles as the easiest form of exercise. Yep, makes sense.

Riding a bike is as easy or as hard as you make it. If you want it to be a good workout, it will be.

Wish I had some canals to fish in.

lololol

The young girl in the 3rd pic I posted sure does like what it does for my legs.

I think this is gonna' be a big plus when it comes to my thermal hunting.

Hoglets beware!

ya!
