Avoid.

Anyone else got conker strewn roads ?

The kids are doing a good job on one road near me, but still got plenty of casings to bump over.

How often do you fall? Is your bike a one-er, a fiver, tenner... ?

 

[ianrauk]

is it soaked in vinegar then baked in the oven?

I saw one that must have easily been a twentyer fall from a tree yesterday, it make me smile, then I swerved a squizzel.

Nearly got taken out the other day by two conkers as they fell from a tree literally only a few ft in front of me.
Luckily I was wearing my helmet, it saved my life.

I like riding over them (away from roads), as they ping out of my tyres like bullets same with crab apples although they usually just explode.

Greenwich park has horse chestnut trees on the main drag. I wouldn't want to run over one heading down hill. It would send the front wheel off balance and could cause a speed wobble.
