Most of the freeways around here have been modifyed and re-modified so many times that there are often weird remnants of the previous modifications. Such as where the old pavement is connected to the new pavement, or lanes have been re-routed. Or in some cases there are some tire tracks I guess created when someone drove on the road before the asphault was totally dry. They create little ridges and valleys on the freeway, and they often are just at a slight angle to the road. So I'm zooming over them at 75 mph sometimes with a lean if its on a turn or I'm changing lanes, and I sometimes wonder how likely it is that the front wheel would get "trapped" by this little edge. Edge traps can definitely drop bikes, and if that happened at speed, it would be Bad. But I've never really heard of anyone experiencing this on a freeway (I have heard of people experiencing it in city driving where the road is often in worse shape than a freeway would be). It's so pervasive, on the 880 anyway, that would be quite difficult to avoid it. Has anyone ever had a problem with this, or heard of anyone having a problem with it?
