2. Flattens bends allowing a faster line
3. Can, in some circumstances straighten what would otherwise be a bendy road - shortening the distance travelled.
As someone above said, you pay for the road: if it's there, and it is safe to do so, use all of it.

Nice post. Though I think that the "only" benefits are huge benefits ;)
I had a nice ride yesterday, twisty country roads, I was "off-siding" a lot and it made everything lovely and fluid, I was relaxed anyway but it helped make the road easier to ride :)
I have week 3 bikesafe tomorrow night, so I'll be asking about all this with the nice copper :rolleyes: |
