I’m confused
I live a few blocks from Harris Road and also close to the Dyke, which I’ve used for walks and bike rides before. Today I wanted to try a different route, so I went for a bike ride around 8 p.m. along the roadside/pathway area. Looking back, it probably wasn’t the best time since it was starting to get dark and cars might not have been able to see me as clearly. I also wanted to point out that I was wearing light clothing hoping that would have helped too. But I guess during the ride, my electric bike started acting up because I had dropped it hard a couple of times, and it eventually stopped acting weird, so I had to push it for part of the way. That’s when a few people stopped to check on me, which I really appreciate I was okay.I guess what’s on my mind is that I’ve seen other people biking and walking in that same area before, so I didn’t think it would be an issue. But now I’m feeling a bit self-conscious about going for walks or rides there again.
