Do you know there are over 80 miles of bike trails in Kingwood and maybe 2-4 bike police per shift. I ride fast at 10-11 mph on the trails( and trust me that is generous And fast- i average 16-18 on the road) so it would take me 7 1/2 - 8 hours to cover all the trails in KW on 1 shift! Soo here's my suggestion
1) ALWAYS be aware of your surroundings
2) ALWAYS carry a cell phone and ID
3) ONLY wear one- or No-earphone ( the right one) so you can hear people coming up behind you. I don't wear ear buds- I load my iPhone with music and I play it on speaker- I can hear the music and everything going on around me.
4) Use the trails in groups or be prepared to act on your own. I run with my dog- he's 40 lbs and bad guys in general don't want to find out of the dog will bite. Otherwise I run with friends or put on my Don't EVEN think of messing with me look.
Ive been riding and running the trails for 10 years almost daily with no issues. I did have the "pleasure" of coming across "Duct Tape Man" one time. I just chuckled, the dog growled and duct tape man stayed duct taped to the bench
Just BE prepared and teach your kids the same
