Summary: It is spring, and I decided it was time to resurrect the podcast and start posting again after several cold Iowa months. Today I am going to begin a series about how to overcome any cycling emergency. Most of the principles we will cover can be transferred to every day use, but we will focus mainly on how these skills help you on the bike. The reason I am focusing on bicycle emergencies and the skills you need to overcome cycling emergencies is that whether are going to be using the bicycle as one of our preps, or as a general means of alternative transportation, or just in a SHTF scenario, it needs to be an efficient tool, and we need to learn how to be prepared for anything. Today we will cover the basic types of cycling emergencies: 1. Getting Lost 2. Mechanical Failiure 3. Exhaustion--Both mental and physical 4. Accidents--There are all kinds of things to run into. 5. Stupid People Every one of these threats we face on the road (or trail) can be a ride-ender, and keep us from making it to our final destination.
