By its nature, getting on a bike and cycling anywhere carries a certain level of risk. Road cycling can be a bit hairy at times when drivers don’t give you the space you need. But once you go off road on your mountain bike or a bikepacking adventure, other factors come into play that could leave you needing help. It could just be a puncture, a broken spoke, or perhaps your chain breaks. But what if you come off your bike and snap your brake lever off or even hurt yourself. What if you need medical attention quickly?
Â
Despite good planning and preparation, things do go wrong occasionally, sometimes very wrong. But what should you do in an emergency situation when you don’t have help immediately to hand?
Â
Developing Mountain Biking in Scotland has produced a quick guide on how to manage an incident. This is really worth having a look at, particularly if you’re new to off-road adventures, but still worth a look if you’re an experienced rider.
