re: Experienced Trike Riders - Please post here.
Organic matter on the pavement:
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To prove to the possum it could be done.
We have plenty of stuff on the road, and sometimes the highway department doesn't seem to eager to pick it up. If it is really ripe, large, a skunk or roadkill-on-the-halfshell, I do my best to try not to hit it. Ripe and skunks can ride with you for quite a time, large will disrupt your day and armadillos are like running over a rock. Soft and fresh, I still try not to hit it, but it isn't as big of a deal if I do.
Oh - for northerners newly traveling in the south - watch out for live armadillos no matter what your mode of travel. Thier natural reaction when threatened is to jump, and they can get pretty high. I have seen 4X4 grills and radiators badly messed up by an armadillo they thought they could roll over with plenty of clearance. Plays havoc with cars too, and can really mess up a nice trike or bike ride.
