I recently had a conversation with another cyclist about cattle guards. My only experience with them was on the climb up Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii. I was too afraid to ride over them so I got off and walked the bike across. Apparently, the trick is to hit them at full speed on your bike and everything will be fine.
i walk the bike over anything. Mulch, twigs, water, snow, ice, pot-holes, mud, rocks, hills. with my shoddy sense of balance, i just can’t be too careful. you can bet i would walk it over a cattle guard.
Meli, you are SOOOOO FUNNY!!!! That is an AWESOME PHOTO…… another interesting view of the ISLANDS….. I probably wouldn’t even want to WALK across them,,,,,,,,,,, let alone ride a BIKE — AT FULL SPEED NO LESS!!!!!!! Hmmmmmmm– hugs, nan
