Swerving is condemned?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I would only hit it if there was hair around it.

"path" = lakefront bike path, paved. They're doing too much construction. I'm pretty sure some of them were over half a foot deep.

I've noticed guys on Caad9's are usually more confrontational.
That's rich
