There's a sidewalk ramp in front of an autoshop that I've ridden on a bunch of times with the utility bike - no problems with that bike and its MTB-wide tires. Unfortunately, the Jamis' 35mm tires were still too skinny to not get caught on that damn ramp - which is actually an inch higher than the gutter. With a big new bruise on my knee, I took the rest of the weekend off from riding because just walking around rubs the bruise against the dressing/bandage.
What, no pictures of road rash? Seriously though, that doesn't sound fun.
