Bonehead wtmusic learns to respect traffic cones

Riding in Griffith Park in L.A. this morning I came across a construction crew blocking the right lane of a two-lane road with traffic cones. Too impatient to wait for oncoming traffic to clear in the left lane, I jammed between the cones. Suddenly a two-foot-wide utility ditch appeared in front of me--with no time to stop.

Damage: one wheel and two tires trashed ($300 total) and a long walk (carrying the bike) to find someone with a cell (oh yeah--bring that next time too). Luckily I didn't fall.

D'oh! :banghead:

1. Ooops!

I remember visiting Griffith Park a decade and a half ago when I was young. The view over the city was cool, with all the little police copters whirring about. There is a super museum of Native American culture near there called "the Southwest Museum". I think it is in Anaheim.

My late brother really messed his arm up going down a parallel sewer grate.
