I will only go on the trails, if I am with someone else. Because, Just
a couple years ago, there was collision between two cyclists' on one of
the local trails in the region, and the ambulances had to figure out a
way to get to the accident scene. My concern is that, if I am biking on
the trails alone, and I have a seizure. I will not be seen, and no one
will no I am having a medical emergency.
