1. Avoid gravel at all costs! Road bike tires are very squirrelly in gravel!! My eyes bug out of my head and my heart instantly jumps by 50 beats per minute when I feel the side to side movement of gravel with my wheels. Yikes!!
2. If you have a small bike frame, be careful of the foot/wheel combo... I have hit my foot on my wheel while turning and almost ate it sooooo many times.
3. Do not ride parallel to max tracks (or street car or whatever kind of tracks may be running through the middle of the lane). I haven't tested this out recently, but from childhood experiences trying to go up curbs at a suboptimal angle, I have already learned my lesson. :)
4. Two water bottles are better than one.
5. Remember to flip the brake lever down after putting your front wheel back on or your front brakes won't work ;) Duh.
That is all for now. :)
