Don't go out alone anywhere you wouldn't seeing anybody come by for a while
I'm sorry, but that really is absolute nonsense. Some of my best trips have been cycling, walking and mountaineering in remote corners of Scotland where you might not see another person for days.
WALKING AND MOUNTAINEERING!?! I'd risk activities that safe blindfolded…
I understand you thinking it is nonsense, so I'll be more specific – don't go doing dangerous terrain at dangerous speeds in unfamiliar places. By all means, take a gentle ride on a blue/red route at a speed that you would kill yourself at, as the odds are in your favour! If you think thats non-sense, perhaps you would like to tell me what you would do if you came off in an unfamiliar place, couldn't move, contact anybody or wait for somebody? Yes, you'd die.
Obviously you have to weigh up the risks, and I will take risks and go out alone to familiar places, but since my incident I've decided I'd rather stay at home that die. Oh and I'll stop myself riding like my arse is on fire on every ride, ride within my limits, learn to ride my bike etc etc etc
