schestowitzThe night ride was Mike's idea. Do you know what I said to him? First thing when we met up I told him, be careful... he quit his job on Friday, so he wanted to do something wild. His plans were for us to ride through the woods at night for almost 3 hours. I had my flashlight set to high for us to get long-distance visibility and he was watching the ground for obstacles.Mar 04 06:49
schestowitzThing were OK, but it was still dangerous because it was totally dark and some troublemakers were out. So then we went to the city and we went to have some dinner. Afterwards, on the way back, I lost Mike. He tried phoning me 3 times, but I could not pick up quickly enough. So we were both left alone in the dark. On my ride back I hit some lumber and damaged my bike;Mar 04 06:50
schestowitzI could carry on cycling, came to the Manchester City Stadium, but it was shut, had to carry on cycling until I could get back on the road. The whole thing in general was anything but safe, so I probably won't be doing that again. On the way back I didn't have aMar 04 06:51

schestowitzI am sometimes told that my sense of fear is a little mal-adjusted in the sense that I'm over-confident, perhaps because I am never attacked.Mar 04 13:21
schestowitzThis can lead to a false sense of security, or simply a disconnect from risk. I've found psychological ways to deal with walking in the dark, even if by my own. This wasn't like this when I was younger, but I have seen experiments where identical twins were raised separately, one with fear and one without. Too much fear is bad, but too little fear is bad too.Mar 04 13:21
schestowitzFear is not purely inherent, a lot of it comes from education, through parents and the examples they set (or TV).Mar 04 13:22
schestowitzHorror films don't scare me much either and I end up ruining them by making sarcastic remarks about supposedly creepy scenes (like ghosts) or explaining the methods of volume control for fear, turning it into humour. Suppressing fear can be good or even essential for particular sports, but it's a recipe for disaster in rough neighbourhoods. Mar 04 13:22
schestowitzI really should be more careful in some of the things I do nonchalantly when in fact I should avoid them.Mar 04 13:23
