among the nation's highest, but the state's deficit is still about $16
billion. It's estimated that more than 2,000 upper-income Californians are

s**a 发帖数: 1995 | 14 I spent $60 in a specialized armadillo tire, which is supposed to be super
puncture resistant. However, the seller told me the side wall is not as
strong.
Unfortunately, this tire deflated after I quickly ran over a pothole (I
suspected it is because of my tire pressure was a little bit low). The left
side of the tire got an one inch long cut.
Is there any way to fix a tire (not a tube)? Thanks! |

if your commute route has potholes, get wider tires and make sure you pump

第一条我也不完全同意,主要精力还是要集中在前方路面情况。两周前,我们俱乐部就
有人因为观察侧后方情况结果摔车的。
同意你说的。但是我觉得你说的这个情况,主要责任在于司机。如果不能确认前方视野
,你避让他也不应该超车。还好对面的骑车人没事儿。另外,即使马路不是特别狭窄,
有时候靠边骑也是不安全的,因为有可能有井盖,pothole之类的。这也是为什么交规
规定如果骑车超骑车人,要留出足够空间,因为骑车人有可能随时会因为这些情况移到
马路中间。
我们这里有很多的红绿灯等候处,停车线前有专门标注出的bike box,就是为了自行车
等待红灯的时候,骑车能够看到。
有的bike trail还是和行人共用的,有时候行人,尤其是小孩子会做出unpredictable
move,这个时候对于骑车人威胁非常大。还有人遛狗不拴狗。。。有的司机有一个思想
误区,就是如果有bike trail,骑车人就不应该在公路上行驶。我就曾经因为这个被人
yell at过。其实这是不对的。不是所有的bike trail都适合公路车的(例如有的路段
被沙子覆盖),而且bike trail和公路的链接往往不够发达,该转弯的... 阅读全帖 |
