Which often does not get cleaned until mid July unfortunately. In many instances improper street cleaning just spreads debris to the middle of the road in which it remains year round.
To which my point was stated that sand and gravel present hazards year round.
The unseen enemy is... cold tires especially on corners.
Take a good look at a performance street tire and it certainly is not the tread that gives you traction but it is the stickyness of the compound that provides grip.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I am just trying to heighten awareness to new riders.
People ... Please ride safe and remember the cages are not looking out for you at the best of times, let alone now, so early in the riding season.
Cheers
