We've all tried steering through/around a patch of broken glass to spare our precious tires. But
we only see what's reflecting sunlight at the time. How many shards that we don't see are we
riding through? Has anyone ever done a study or analysis? How wide a berth does prudence dictate a
rider take?
(Personally, I ride on "tank treads," slime tubes AND kevlar liners. I think the tread will wear out
before I have to replace a tube. [Probably just jinxed myself.] They've lasted 1200 miles so far,
and as long as I stay away from stopwatches, they're fast enough for me.)
