I was once riding on a wet autumn day, when I came upon a large mass of wet leaves. Being a wise cyclist, I swung out of my lane and avoided the hazard. Upon returning to my lane, I crossed the double white lines (freshly painted about a week before) which were wet and slick. I ended up on the ground with a fractured pelvis. So much for smart riding. I should've taken my chances with the leaves.

I too, love autumn riding.
