I’ve recently began riding my bike to the gym in the morning since I don’t have my big e-bike anymore. But how can you guys tell the difference between running over salt in the winter or if something is actually just glass. It’s something I never really had to think about or experienced when I used to ride my fat tire e-bike to go to work. I’m lucky I’m only like a 1/4 mile from home but it does scare me sometimes.

I don’t even see anything in this picture
That’s a bicycle.
I’ve also been playing “salt or glass” on my rides. It can be hard to tell at speed so I just try to avoid all of it.
Fortunately I live in an area that uses brine on the roads so there are no salt crystals. So I treat it all as glass.
But in general salt is dirtier looking but it’d be hard to tell at speed. The only recommendation I have is if they aren’t calling for winter weather and would be salting the roads assume it’s glass.
I usually lick them to settle that question.
What does it taste like?
Fuck salt
Yes, depends on proximity to the pub
