I've had all sorts of mishaps on the road. The most serious was running out of water on a hot day on a long climb. Next to that was a brake failure on a rainy day. A few times, motorists were a bit closer to me than I would have liked, but they still gave me some room. There have also been some minor problems. I've had to contend with flat tires, occasional broken spokes, a broken front rack mount on a couple of occasions, a faulty rear pannier, a broken chain once and other similar items. No dangerous wildlife. No urban gangs. No angry farmers with shotguns. No food poisoning. No flash floods or wildfires.
