What do you ladies do when there is nobody on the other end of a telephone to come save you? Does AAA help you if you're on a bike? Do you call a cab? Walk to the nearest bus?
Myself, DH and friends are all in the travel industry and a lot of times when I ride there is nobody in town. Usually I don't stray far from home when that's the case, but I'd like to be able to do longer loops and am looking for options to soothe my worried mind!

LOL I do worry about this too but for other reasons. If Im riding out in the sticks on a week day Im always worried that if something happens I wont be back in time to pick my kids up from school. I do have a mobile phone that I could use to ring another mum but the coverage here is hit and miss. This is why I tend to stay a little closer to home on week days and venture further afield on the weekends.
The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
