Just a reminder for all of us Rust Belt, Frozen North and Quaint But Cold New England riders who are just venturing out to start the season:
1. Frost heaves, potholes and other biketraps lurk unseen. If your DOT crew hasn't been by lately, assume the worst. I ran over (into?) a pothole in my car on Saturday that jarred a filling loose.
2. Salt, sand, gravel and other accumulated debris want to kill you. Watch out, especially until the first real drensching rains have washed the roads.
3. It's been months since cagers have been aware of your existence. Be extra careful, vigilant and safe.
