Good vs Bad (or Worse) Cycling Moments

Yes, I think I’ve experienced most of these.

Bad: Having dogs chase you.
Good: Having dogs chase you on a 35mph downhill.

Bad: Getting low on water on an unfamiliar strip of road.
Good: Finding people sitting in their yard in the middle of no where, when you need water and borrowing their outdoor water faucet.



Bad: Getting caught out in a lightening storm.
Good: Beating the lightening storm home.

Bad: Loose gravel when climbing a steep hill.
Worse: Loose gravel, causing you to slide on a very steep downhill.

Bad: Finding a stream to cross that you aren’t sure how deep it might be, with loose gravel.
Good: Finding a stream to cross with 2-3 inches of water on a paved road

Bad: A cold rain on a cool day.
Good: A cool, gentle rain on a hot day.
