I planning on doing some night riding in the boondocks. How do you deal with a good ol' boy, in a pickup, who seems threatened by lycra? Do you have beer with him, try to persuade him that he has nothing to worry about, etc? I can't exactly carry a compound box on my back like Burt Reynolds did in deliverence, so how do you protect yourself?
Burt did not have a compound bow in Deliverance. I think you are confusing him with Sylvester Stallone in Rambo.
Your best defense is to get some custom realtree camo print cycling clothes. ------------- Alex
Carry some pepper spray. Another suggestion is to carry a big lock with you. I used to carry a cable with a Abus Discus lock and it came in handy one time. I was waiting in the left hand turn lane and some guy tells me to get off the road. The guy started threatening me and I pulled out the lock and told him to make me.
