Now I'm in Wichita
Moved here from Ft. Lauderdale 2 yrs ago. I was having a great time here running with 2 different groups when my knee went bad and the doc said no more running. I dusted off my 1972 Peugeot UO-8 (10 speed) and have been riding both country and city for about 6 months. My downtube shifters get funny looks, but I'm having fun. The blacktop southeast of town is mellow. My two crashes in the city have been due to those nasty cracks parallel to the curb. Once on Central and another time on Pawnee, I wiped out in traffic. Skinny tires just fit in those cracks too good. Do others have the same problem? I know, watch where you ride. But, the city could fill up the worst cracks.
