I have had my electric bike now for nearly a year, and have cycled in all weathers along the same route everyday day.
My biggest gripe though are the pesky grids,many of them on my commute are truely horrendous.Some of them are a good 2" below the road level, and often have big holes around them where the tarmac has broken away.Of course when it rains you haven't got a clue how deep the water is!
My question is what strategy do you use for avoiding the grids.Do you cycle as close to the pavement as possible and swerve out when you get near to the grid ; or do you take command of the road and cycle away from the kerb to miss the grid altogether.
Cheers
