Or ride my bicycle on them. Since these things are fun, and since if I didn't live in such a world I'd probably be dead, (which I don't think would be quite as much fun), I continue to live in this road-infested world. One question I'd like to ask: Why construct a road if you're going to cover it with gravel (as they do here in Central Illinois), making it unsafe for motorcycles and unrideable on bicycles?
