Hah...I cut and pasted from a word document and didn't notice my "it's better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it" equipment. When on Tucson's bike paths, which have won international awards for their design, I usually don't go heeled (old West term). Although there are some

I'm surprised: judging from your photos, I'm surprised you encounter any people at all on your rides.  Or is the hatchet not meant for people? On 7/5/20 5:07 PM, 'Deacon Patrick' via RBW Owners Bunch wrote: I've had and witnessed enough odd encounters since people have busted out from quarantin
