Wheels
whizzing
on steep
downhill
bike path
trying to
avoid fallen
acorns and
slick goose
droppings
which may
skid tires
and flip a
rider over
handlebars
splashing
into cool
water and
algaed
scum of
Cooter’s
Pond…
may also
disturb
turtles or
crawdads
buried in
muddy
bottom
Whooaah!

I love this as a bike rider… better be careful. At this time of the year it’s the gravel left from the winter…
Apr 21, 2018 @ 09:00:58
Yes, gravel can be dangerous…

Take care biking, Bjorn! We live on a gravel road but I’d rather bike a hard surface trail.

I can imagine those slick goose droppings doing all of that.

Treacherous!
