WARNING:

t’s been said that no experience is a true adventure until
something goes wrong. In fact, that’s where the idea for this
issue began: We wanted to share the most death-defying
stories of cycling that we could find. But the more we thought
about it the more we realized it doesn’t take any special skills
for things to go wrong (trust me, I know). So instead we turned it
around to bring you stories about how to handle yourself when
the proverbial poo hits the fan: how to keep your cool, how to
get yourself out of a jam and how to avoid one in the first place.
Our longtime columnist Beth Puliti and her husband traveled
through Nepal shortly a er the devastating earthquake that
killed thousands and le most roads impassable—except for
bikes. In her extended column in this issue beginning on page
18, read how Nepalese cyclists leapt to the challenge to shu le
medicine and supplies over massive mountain passes and help
the recovery effort any way they could.
But communities shouldn’t wait until the worst has happened
to start working. That’s the theme behind the Disaster Relief
Trials, a cargo bike challenge that demonstrates to emergency
management agencies how pedal power can be part of the resil-
ience movement. I took part in one of the races and interviewed
the founder of the growing series, Mike Cobb, on page 28.
There are a lot of things than can go wrong on a ride, and
while we could never publish an exhaustive list of all the solu-
tions, we reached out to some experts about what cyclists
could do to take care of Number One. From ge ing lost to get-
ting hurt, we hope these lessons on page 34 help keep you safe
and ready for anything.
Finally, I just want to encourage you all to push your envelope
with cycling a li le bit. Try to go a bit further, a bit faster or just
conquer that hill you hate. Try a type of riding you never have
before, or take someone new to cycling for a spin. It’s not until
you’re out of your comfort zone that you learn just what you’re
capable of, and who knows, you might just surprise yourself.
Good luck, and enjoy your Bicycle Times.
