Cycling in the villages
Michael. It really depends on how much you value cycling and your life. As an avid cyclist putting in 15k miles a year I have seen to many bike accidents and friends getting terribly injured. All it takes is one bad bike accident and your life is put on hold or even over. So is it worth it? Remember here there are lots of old people who make bad decisions. So you must ride very very defensively. Is it worth it? If you do ride outside look at Cycliq front and rear cameras for your bike so you can record everything. Great products they have. Or you can be like me and I ride inside for the most part on a smart trainer ( wahoo kicker) and the platform called (Zwift) and you ride with people from all over the world and pro bike riders. Ride alone, in a group, time trials, etc. you need an iPad , iPhone or pc. It works on all platforms. You can text to all while riding so you can creat friendships. I was in Kentucky with a large group of people I ride with in Zwift. About 30 of us from all over the USA and Canada converged there during the century ride there this past summer. So it is the safe option if you want to ride a bike. You just don’t get the wind rain Sun and fun of being outside.
