RE: Day 2 on the road, and in the wind.

in #inthewind7 years ago (edited)

In the states, we still have many bicycle swallowing holes.
We call them drainage grates. And they have bars aligned so that they will support car tires, but just the right size, long and narrow, for eating bicycle tires.

I can just imagine an old crone in mexico going on about avoiding bike eating holes. (burning incense and other "smells" heavy in the air ) And how there are a few less bikers in the world now... sooo, beware

Sort:  

Yeah, I've pushed pedals, too.

In Acapulco on the Farallon are some of those grates, luckily Aca is too hilly to ride a bicycle in, down would be ok, but up would take all day.
