FW: [RC] Traction on wooden bridges? - Curtis, Laura \(LauraCurtis\)

Title: Re: [RC] Traction on wooden bridges?

I’ve seen wooden bridges with wooden strips attached to them for traction, and they work, but they get torn up pretty fast and are a maintenance and a safety issue because when the strips come loose/disintegrate, the nails/screws are exposed.

They are all flat, level.

 

Yes, now most of us dismount and walk across -- But thats less than ideal, there's so many you spend more time getting on and off than riding.  ;-(

 

The strips mentioned before are a great idea, and what I normally see in the area.  I'm worried the bike riders would oppose?

The above is always my first impulse .... I walk thru anything questionable ...

 

Anyone have a picture of how steep the angle is??
