Does anyone else have that new cable retainer system along the highway in their neck of the woods? We just got a mile or two of it in Beaumont and it's designed to 'bounce' a car back into it's own lanes and prevent it from crossing into oncoming traffic if it hits the median. That's great for a car, but if a bike hits it, it's going to shred the rider. It's 4 or 5 inch wide I-beams sticking up out of concrete about 4 feet high, and three 3/4" cables are threaded thru the I-beams along the edge of the roadway. It may be better than going into oncoming traffic, but couldn't be much better. It would certainly keep the other cars off of you. Every time I see those things, I cringe. I guess the moral of the story is don't run into the stuff in the first place.
