Definitely. My problem, honestly, is the hills. I know enough (usually) to slow for corners, or avoid the leaves and turn in the clear spaces. But some of my hills are literally covered with them, and my concern is safely controlling my speed downhill and pedaling uphill. I've already had the experience of having my rear wheel slip as I was pedaling up the hill (in my lowest possible gear, going very slowly). I'm honestly considering walking the bike on the worst parts, depending on how things look tonight. My other choice involves riding some roads that don't make me too happy, so I suppose I'd rather walk than do that. I guess I can't expect it to get much better for a few more weeks.
