universal cyclist/trail user frs emergency channel (channel 6 sub channel 10)
after reading another members post about frs walkie talikies it gave me an idea. esentially we establish an unformal cyclist/trail user emergency channelon the frs band. this way it would be safer if you were to go out solo and become demobilized for whatever reason. then as long as someone else has their radio on and listning to that channel just incase of such an event they can be contacted for help, weather its another cyclist that helps or he/she gets help from another source, ie. park rangers.
i will have to say this once again that this channel is for emergency use only and not to use it for trying to see if there is someone else there just for the heck of it or for communicating with youre group durring a ride! i say this because if this channel gets used for other purposes than emergencies then people are just going to turn it off because they will be bothered unnessarilly durring a ride for something thats not an emergency.
NOTE: this channel can be use for warnings such as a bear, mountain lion sighting etc..
the channel to be used for this emergency listen in is channel 6 sub channel 10.

rember to carry youre frs radio whenever you ride even if its with a group because it could help save someone elses life and even your own.
