That's some of the most treacherous stuff many of us will encounter on bicycle or motorcycle rides, precisely because it doesn't look particularly dangerous. It's not quite pavement, not quite gravel. I've fallen and nearly fallen on stuff like that many times on motorcycles and bicycles when I was younger and more reckless. Fortunately I bounced back then with only scrapes and embedded grit to show for my utter lack of skill.

Taking the inside of the camber can help. Get on the wrong side and you're almost sure to loose traction at any speed above 10 mph.

And that's one reason why my favorite all around tire is the Continental Speed Ride, a bargain priced tire with soft, grippy yet durable diamond/file main tread, and vestigial side knobbies that only come into play on grass. It's basically Conti's fatter, consumer grade version of their dry conditions cyclocross tire. Handle that typical kind of rural road very calmly.

Alas, it's not available in anything but 700x42 (nominal, actual size is closer to 700x38). Pretty much for hybrids and drop bar bikes with plenty of clearance in the forks, stays and brake bridges. There are a few other brand tires with similar tread design in 700x32 on up -- Donnelly (formerly Clement), the Challenge Gravel Grinder, even a couple from Kenda. Check 'em out, see if one fits your bike. Run 'em as soft as you dare for rides on those roads. It'll help restore your confidence.

On my road bikes, I slow way down when approaching turns, corners and curves like that. I don't bounce anymore.

Take care, do your physical therapy and stretches. It'll help. If you have residual pain after the opiate prescription meds run out, check out CBD if it's legal in your area. The full spectrum high potency works really well. No side effects, so I'll take it before or during bike rides, no problems. I'm fine for 20-30 miles but beyond that my old injuries flare up -- neck, shoulder, back -- and NSAIDs don't help much.

Most topical analgesic balms don't help much either, but I'm giving Ted's Pain Cream a second chance. The theory is the topical resveratrol (from grapes and Japanese knotweed) and MSM transdermal carrier penetrates the skin just enough to "reset" the stuck pain receptors on otherwise healed injuries. I still have some ultra-tender places on my neck, shoulder and scapula so I'm giving it another two-week trial to see if it helps. And PT. And a chiropractor.

Getting old sucks with injuries. But I can't quit riding.
