Seams

WTF does there always have to be a seam right smack dab in the middle of ever on and off ramp?

You seriously need to move to a state with actual riding roads instead of on/off ramps.

I do ride roads with actual corners but today was just a quick run to town. The corners I got were the ramps and every f-ing one of them had a seam right were I wanted to go. I've noticed before but today they really pissed me off.

You talking about a "connect" point or a line running with the road?

A connecting point, meaning they decided to pave on one side of the ramp, then do the other side with the meeting point right down the middle. Or in some cases the concrete, but in that case it is to the inside of the corner... but still right where I want to go.

Try having the roads around here. They have ribbed concrete, with inch wide funnels for water. Sucks my skinny front tire in every time.

And it runs exactly where you would place your bike, about 2 feet from the center line. Most days I ride down the middle of the lane, or the "oil track", as I call it.

It allows for movement.
