Warren_G Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 day in and day out, no matter the weather .... the easy speed the roadie commuter carries will be a welcome relief.Left my slicks on after the Argus and been commuting  and must say it was lovely the way they carry speed but looking out for potholes, nails/screws and thorns is just too much effort!

Cois Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 (edited) A truck took my mom out like this once.  Since then she is on a MTB.  Truck drivers do not know the length of the trucks they are in.  And neither does most people (even in their cars) Edited April 16, 2015 by François Marais
D-Mike Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 Been off the bike for three weeks and started again today. Had a seriously scary moment. Was crossing the road at a T junction, light was green for me. Two taxis comes flying down the right turn lane and hooting, expecting everything in their way to magically disappear. This was after the light had already turned red for them 5 or so seconds earlier. I could easily have been road kill had it not been for a 6th sense kicking in to wait a moment longer.
