I'm fortunate in that where I work I can bike at lunch. However, the road just outside of my work is being re-paved (4 lane road with a median and full shoulders), and right now they're grooving a huge swath of the road on my side, including the shoulder. It wasn't a big deal till yesterday, when the grooving finally passed the entrance to my work (there is no other choice for exiting, not even off-road).
The one time I attempted the grooved pavement, it was a nightmare. I was vibrating so bad I could barely focus my eyes and I was constantly in fear of flatting. If they continue (and I think they will), I'll have around .4 miles of it to deal with in two sections (about .2 when leaving and .2 when coming back).
Has anyone else had experience with grooved pavement, and if so what did you do?
