Good News:
Today was pretty warm and with so much other stuff going on in the city (Bengals playing this afternoon, if what happened on the field today can be considered competitive sports, but that's for another forum) and the Reds in the playoffs and playing this evening the trail was pretty empty. In the end I decided to give the trail another go (yes the very one that I SWORE I would NEVER ride again) and it was actually pretty nice. I still was a bit stressed on the narrow portion of the trail, but there was only a few people to pass, so all in all it was quite pleasant of a ride.

Actually, I saw two bikes today with air horns on them. I'm in NYC where noise levels are high and people are pushy. I have totally seriously considered an air horn or whistle (a lot of bikers have whistles; there are pros and cons). If I commuted in certain situations, I would get one or the other or both. For recreational riding, I decided against it.

Glad you had a better ride today.
