You may not need to worry too much about the angry Jackalopes

However, Goat Heads are a big issue in some places.

I've been riding in traffic since I was a kid, many decades ago.,

Pick touring routes that take less traveled roads. Most of my trips are day-trips, but I can get quite some distance down the roads.

Let someone know where you're going... unless it causes too much stress for a short trip. Communicate with your home-base regularly.

I'm also quite self sufficient. And, can tackle just about anything that the road will throw at me.

I've broken a few spokes on my version of centuiry+ rides. A few field replacements of spokes. One blowout and field repair. Too many flats to count.
