Re: [St] Road debris
The roads would be much safer if there were more bikers.

I make a point not to ride behind vehicles carrying dangerous cargo.
On the
interstate I wait until someone passes them and I get right behind the
passer who serves as protection. Many, many highway accidents and
injuries
are caused by items coming off of vehicles.
I saw a pick-up in front of me with a chest of drawers not secured. I
backed off and within minutes it tumbled out of the back of the pick-up
bed
and on to the highway. Also, when you smell tire rubber while riding
the
bike, back off as a retread may soon be coming your way. I have backed
off
due to rubber smell and then seen tires come apart soon thereafter.
