I have the same problems in the open farmland where I ride. Accuweather says 4 MPH and I swear I hit long stretches of 15 MPH headwinds. Humidity seems to add a few more degrees of difficulty. The...

I also ride mostly solo. I use both the Head Unit and my cell. The HU gives good visual signals and the number of cars approaching. If your hearing is pretty good you can hear the tone from the...

I acknowledge a lot of people when I ride. A wave to other riders, police, or a motorist who showed some awareness of me. I try to look predictable and aware of those around me. Will any of this get...

I carry two CO2 and a small hand pump. The kind that attaches to the bottle cage. It's like a little fire extinguisher that gives peace of mind, and allows me to help another rider without going...
