      It also sucks for those of us with bad ankles and knees. Almost as bad as sand. All I see on those pictures is pain.

        They are also extremely slippery when wet or frozen. So add a lawsuit to the pain as well.

      I’m wondering if they feel as horrible on a fully suspended bike. I’m also commenting something just because.

      There are workarounds to get cobblestone streets to work. In Groningen, Netherlands, I’ve seen cozy cobblestone streets which had a 50cm (1½ feet?) wide and very even brick strip in the center for bicycles. Looks and works great and it is an easy retrofit for historic cobblestone.
