And there were quite a bit of broken glasses on the road, maybe some people throw their beer bottle or something, i was quite afraid when my bike run above them.
As I've gotten faster and more confident on my bike, I've learned that riding in the car lanes in much better, in this respect - fat car tires clean the road of small debris that could easily puncture our tires (and the road surface tends to be a little smoother, too, it seems).
