Toot

Written by Mark Chick on 2024-12-11 at 07:56

For its first few billion years gravel was essentially useless, since no one had invented the bicycle. Even when that finally happened, for the following 150 years if it was used at all it was for making surfaced roads, which was as misguided a use for it as you could possibly think of.

Worse than that, in races it was common to get marshals to go and look for gravel on the inside of sharp corners and then actually, unbelievably, use brooms to remove it.
