Hey guys!

Just a quick question : You know those metal 'expansion joints' on the elevated freeway coming from the N2 into Cape Town? One of them is right on a bend. Now, when its wet, and I drive over that one in my car, I can actually feel the whole car sliding out a bit to the outside of the turn while the wheels are in contact with the metal.  :eek:

So, if that's how it feels in the car, how on earth does it feel on a bike? How do you guys approach it?

Sorry if it's been asked before!
This is just something that's been bugging me for a while..

Thanks!
Meuli
