The most commonly asked question I am asked when I tell someone that I go on solo, self-supported tours is “Aren’t you scared?” And while I understand the sentiment, I often wonder if the question is driven by that person’s fears and some complacency, with some gender-driven bias mixed in.
Does bicycle touring bring with it some dangers? Of course it does, but it’s a matter of mitigating them. In this video, I identify some of the things I do to increase my personal safety and security while on tour.
Thanks for watching.
