I frequently bike through a wooded trail on my own, and thankfully have never encountered any problems, but I can understand your concern. Is there another path that is in a less secluded location, such as alongside the roads you'd take to get to work? Another option would be to take the bus if your city has public transportation.
I always bring a small whistle that I wear around my neck when I go biking or hiking by myself, and slip it onto my key chain the rest of the time. The whistle is lightweight and ear-piercingly loud, and if I was hurt, lost or approached by a creeper, I could easily grab it and blow to get the attention of others and scare him off. Ask your parents if there is a whistle lying around the house that you could use. Also make sure you bring your charged cell phone with you. Avoid making eye contact with anyone, and simply keep biking if someone acts suspiciously. If you are wearing your iPod, make sure the volume is low enough so that you can hear those around you.
It's awesome that you already have a job at 14. I hope you have a safe ride there and back tomorrow, and a lovely birthday on Saturday.

I actually have a 6 year outdated and that i do no longer enable him holiday his bike out of my sight. It in simple terms takes a 2d for a van to tug up and grab your toddler and force away with him. It got here approximately in my section no longer some time past, the mummy grew to become into in simple terms one hundred ft away and a guy in a black pickup truck pulled up, jumped out, grabbed the female and drove off along with her. They have not got here across the female. I stay in a severe-high quality section, yet I won't take any possibilities with my toddler. while i grew to become right into a toddler, we could roam around all day until eventually the line lights fixtures got here on and we had to bypass domicile. we live in a distinctive international now. Get on your sheriff branch's web site and notice what share sexual predators stay interior of a mile of your place. that could exchange your view in this.

If you don't do anything to provoke them, they most likely won't bother you. Like, if you go up and start talking or something then yeah, they may try to bother you. Just don't pay them any attention, oh, and maybe bring a cell phone just incase something happens.
Good luck, and have fun. :)

Seriously, though when you're riding past them, don't make eye contact and keep looking forward.
