my brother and I were driving home and almost straight T-boned someone who randomly braked (back country rode in the desert- so straight for miles and deer are NOT our biggest concern) a little bit and we went to pass and he turned left- I think we were going like 55 or 60 it was nerve wracking.
The two issues I’ve had are seams on long asphalt patches that run parallel to how you ride- which create kind of edge trap and the friggin concrete drainage that runs between the road and the driveways and things- its bigger than I thought and needed to be hit more perpendicular than at a smaller angle. Apparently matching asphalt with curb/drive edges is NOT the pavers first priority. lol
