Why this chapter
Knowledge alone does not pass the test, and it does not keep you on your wheels. This chapter is about what actually makes riding dangerous, why skilled is not the same as safe, how group riding can go wrong, and how to plan a ride – including when the wisest thing is to turn back. It is the material step 4 is built on.
