Only 8 States won’t let you so in the majority it’s not an issue. It’s also using common sense > law.
I think part of it has to do with simple driver education. When I learned to drive, a lot of it involved having loads in the back of a truck or trailers. In those cases hazards can be your best friend.
We’re now living together haha

Of course? Who wouldn’t call and cancel? they already had my credit card so they would have charged me anyways if I hadn’t.
Haha, we’re Canadian so no AAA.
I swapped it out for a Mustang. It did infact pull towards crowds
This happened to me with a 2015 Camaro (rental) with a flat tire on the highway by Ontario, California. It was early January in the middle of an El Nino storm with half a foot of water.
Exactly what he described:
In the State’s I’d be concerned someone had a gun if they got out and may have done that myself. Usually I step out if someone steps out up here in Canada as they don’t realize it’s a built 6ft3 guy in the car and just walk right back to theirs apologizing (eases the situation quick).
Looks like he struck again David:
So he’s Specialized in smashing bike?
How much fun was it for Clarkson to blow up his old house? It looked rather pleasing in the videos.
I definitely don’t have the best quality stuff left down there. I do ride a frame size smaller than designated (as do other racers) which creates a bit more space from the top tube to the seat so you can get more on your sit bones but the prenium and nuts do get wailed on slight bumps.
There are cyclists in the pro peloton that have done that, however, you are correct with the lack of stability. Depending on the bike/aerodynamics etc you can have speed wobble (shimmy). The bars start wobbling uncontrollably, for me it’s around 60MPH and it can be prevented by keeping a leg (pressure) on the top tube…
It’s terrifying, after about 60mph I one leg on the TT to avoid wobble and pray my wheels and tires hold up. Being heavy, I go through 4+ sets of wheels a season haha.
After certain speeds (depending on your size usually 60-80KPH) aerodynamics and weight matter far more than power to the wheel. Being 6ft3, heavy built (I lift weights - 220lbs) I tend to go for my aero position at around 70kph where it becomes the weak link.
It looks more like she was braking hard on the rear when she hit the paint and slipped. It’s not abnormal to go in harder on the rear if you’re trying to maintain speed and drop just enough to make the corner.
A lot of guys who actually work with their trucks buy steelies now a days just because prices have gone up and hey, no need for glitz on rims you’ll destroy anyways.
