What does this mean on Google Maps?
(lemmy.ml)
My best guess is it's a busy road so it's dangerous and not really meant for bicycle and walking. I've done 13 miles yesterday to get a comic book on a bike and this right here is the distance between my house and a friend's house I told I can come on bike because what I just did gave me a feeling I could do it but my ass hurts so not right now. But yeah I want to see how this would play out. Before I would walk but I took a bike to a comic book store because it would've closed if I walk and I ended up getting there in time. Took longer than expected something that should've been an hour probably took 2 or 3 hours. So yeah I can do half of that for sure.
Hmm, i see.
I'll have a new bike with different winter tires this year but last year my bike would get dangerously destabilized by the smallest amount of leftover powder snow trail from the snow clearing machines, so I stayed well away from uncleared roads.
But for one, as you say, that was forgetting about how uncleared snow is not the same, and also, new tires this year.
I'll give it a try next time. It'll probably be safer to avoid the cars for a little bit longer anyway.
Huh, so this is snow tossed from snow-clearing machines and isn't freshly fallen snow? Maybe what I'm saying doesn't apply then. I think it should be okay since it should(?) compress the same, but I legit don't know. It could be different
Leftover powder on the road is a different beast. It's often mixed up with a little bit of sand, and it's been crushed into a powder that doesn't feel like natural snow at all. It doesn't stick and it slips like fine sand. Not a fun time. A little pile of 2-3 cm of the stuff was enough to almost make me completely lose control last year. Scary stuff.
Ah fair, thanks for the extra info. Take care out there!
Thanks! Hopefully my new tires are more resilient
