Road surfaces vary greatly. Some of the roads I ride on are glassy smooth; others are horrible--rough, with big fissures and potholes. I live relatively close to the Nevada border and I love riding in the Silver State because they seem to have all the money in the world to devote towards maintaining their roadways! If I know I am going to be riding on rougher roads I ride my steel bike that is equipped with 38mm tires.
