The other day I was riding through a road construction area when the pavement abruptly disappeared and I found myself slogging through a muddy, sticky, clay-filled morass. I only needed to ride a couple of hundred feet through the mess, but found that it was nearly impossible to do with my skinny road tires. Once back on terra firma I began to think about how good we all have it when riding the roads these days. Conditions have vastly improved in the past 125 years. For the most part, outside of distracted and clueless drivers, we only need deal with the occasional piece of glass or thorn in our tires.
