I love all that outdoorsy stuff.

Did she know ahead of time that the trails would probably suck, there were bugs and she'd probably get sweaty and gross?

Lol. She has been before but "forgot how terrible it was." She likes outdoorsy stuff too - she is just terrible at biking. I attribute it to her being out of shape, haha. I will probably bring her brother again, but I need to teach him how to not break bikes on trees and how to properly go down hills.

We need to have a BayouShooter Bike-a-thon this fall when the weather gets nice. I hear that alphine dude to could show us some cool bike tricks :P haha

I'm not a rider but have a comment. I was behind a bike on La. 16 in French Settlement yesterday morning before daylight. I was probably a half mile behind him and could see his flashing red tail light. That was one fine light, 20 or 30 years ago cop cars didn't have that good of a light.

Yup, the new LEDs work wonders. My helmet has a red LED that either flashes or just stays on, but I never ride at night so I have never used it.

Hahaha yeah. I might be down for that.

I'll try and gather some bike cops too. I've learned some fancy tricks from one of my bike cop friends lol.

Will do. I will probably be going out there Sunday afternoon (3:00 or so) (Saturdays will now be reserved for LSU football) for the next couple of months. RedStickChick, you're welcome to join us.

Weekends are tough for me since that's when I work the most, but I'll see what I can do.

It is. It sucks that we live in a world of thieves and liars, but what can ya do? Crime is everywhere. I find that most of the guys out there are pretty cool and look out for everyones' interest while out on the trails and at the trailhead. I have stopped a couple of times to help people fix things on their bikes and I have had people do the same with me.

And it's another good ole gun free zone too.

Yeah. Right. I have seen plenty of people out there with pistols at the 5:00 position. I think Brec should install some security cameras to watch the area where cars are parked. They would also help incase someone were "lost" in the trails. It would be easy to see who goes in and out. I think I might email them that suggestion.

Was that the good guys or bad with the pistols?

Presumably good guys.

 

[alpinehyperlite]

Damn.... even a thread about bicycles cant stay on topic.

Nah, gun free zone stuff. Not complaining, just pointing out.

 

[jhprejean]

What's a gun free zone?

What's a gun free zone?..

As far as I can tell it means in that park somewhere there is a courthouse

...I haven't any idea what they are talking about.

BREC property has "no firearms" rules and typically posted signs.

Been a half dozen times and never seen a sign, and no one's stated the rules to me. I'll continue to carry until one of those magical signs falls in my lap or someone tells me not to.
