Cows exploit cycle-friendly cattle grids to roam free - BBC News

A friendly place to chat.
No politics please. Don't be a dick.
As someone who used to cycle Dartmoor a lot, I have a technique for normal cattle grids.
Speed up at much as possible, grip the top tube with your knees, cling onto your hoods with white knuckles, close your eyes and pray to any gods you can think of. It's always worked so far.
In all honesty though, stop pedalling, hit them at 90⁰ and do not turn the handlebars and you're fine.
If you try crossing one on a Brompton you get about half way. That's what I found.
Ooh. I've never ridden a Brompton but I could see how it would present extra difficulties!
