I'm not sure what they're called, but I'm guessing you all know what I'm talking about by now. The little rumble strips on the lines of the roads...
My question: how dangerous are they on a bike? I know when I cross the center line to pass in my truck it affects my steering significantly. I'm hoping this is due to the tread on the tires. I was lucky enough to get behind some maniac on a harly passing like crazy. He passed me first, then tailgated the semi in front of me for a bit till he got to a hill and passed him. I was watching closely and didn't notice any odd trajectories due to the rumble strip, but I'm still conserned about it. For a while, I'll probably just avoid passing on the highway, but I want to be ready in case I really need to.
So, how hard are rumble strips on your bike? Do you notice them at all?
