“Caution” is relative. I’m riding better at 69 than over the recent past because I got back into cycling and ride the road 6 days most weeks with big climbs and descents. With better handling skills, some strength and confidence, I might be seen as less cautious but I feel I’m just riding within my abilities. I try to remove the riskier objective dangers by picking less travelled roads, avoiding rain slicked roads, staying clear of the wheels of herkyjerky riders etc. Stay upright fellow riders.
