Cycling provides freedom, exercise and exploration. However, solo cycling also means riders need additional preparation when unexpected situations happen.
A mechanical problem, accident, weather change or unexpected delay can make communication difficult. An emergency contact creates a connection between the rider and someone who can provide support.
