Wicked cool, eh? Esp liked the hop over the tennis net. These days, I have trouble doing that without a bike...
Not quite in the domain of Clever Tricks on Plastic Bikes: On my shakedown cruise to Prince Edward County last week (more on that to come) I ran over a tree branch left on the road after a serious micro-burst a couple of days earlier -- maybe 8 - 10 cms thick, not a skinny thing at all -- but my Raven + 40 mm Supremes + chainglider handled it with no problems at all. I was a bit anxious as I had two bottles of wine in my front panniers, and with a damn great pickup truck coming up just abreast of me, so I had no option but to hit the branch, square on. Not to be repeated any time soon, I hope, but good to know the bike can handle such things.
