And I thought the municipal liability or lack thereof aspect of it was interesting.
(shrug) I guess we'll have to agree to disagree. I don't see the point in creating a post that warns of a hazard that anyone who has ridden a bike more than a couple of blocks already knows. Hell, I avoid sewer grates when I'm driving a car, if possible, much less when riding a bike. There's no harm in the post, I just see it as useless other than its entertainment value. I rolled my eyes at the thread title several times before posting (for fun, not profit), and I agree my post is of limited utility, it was a comment and did not contribute to the thread. But, since IMO the post is fluff anyway ...
From the volume of responses, there are those who don't agree. I'm OK with that.
