Bumps
Bumps in the road may be due to hot/cold weather, heavy traffic, or roots.
But "speed bumps" are where the road level is artificially raised to calm traffic. They're marked by a white triangle on their leading slope. They can be individual "cushions", full-width "humps", or "speed tables". Approaching cushions, line up your seat with the bottom right-hand corner of the white triangle. This gives you the smoothest ride. |

For all types, approach with as much speed as feels comfortable on board and so your tyres stay in contact with the road.
